- Hermann Göring is perhaps best known for his military and political roles during the Second World War but his military career began much earlier. In 1912 he joined the Prussian Army and served in the infantry until he became ill with rheumatoid arthritis. While recovering he was persuaded by a friend to transfer to the Air Force and in 1915 he joined FFA25 as an observer. He later trained as a pilot and scored his first victory on 16th November 1916. He went on to accumulate a total of 22 victories making him one of Germany's leading Aces of the War.
In July of 1918 he assumed command of Manfred von Richthofen's JG1, nicknamed 'The Flying Circus' by its allied opponents. His BMW powered Fokker DVIIF was factory painted in his personal all-white scheme and had a special cut away on the port side of the cockpit. This was to allow Göring easier access as his joints were still impeded by the rheumatoid arthritis he suffered from whilst in the army.
