Manfred von Richthofen who was one of the deadliest flying aces in World War I was shot down in France on April 21st 1918. He had over 80 air combat victories to his name and therefore it is hardly surprising that he ratcheted quite a few enemies in his lifetime. One foe in particular pursued him with such dogged determination that he too became famous for it. Can you name this very famous flyer?
If you can send me a message. Remember no prizes will be involved, just the kind of recognition throughout the campus that you can not buy in any store.
Last week was Library Week and we had a lot of fun with daily trivia questions along with other events like book sales, author events and a mini golf tournament in Minneapolis. If you would like to see the questions (and answers) from last week please click here.
This is the part of the message where I gently beseech you all not to use Google but one of our many fine library databases to answer this question. However if anyone finds the answer to the question in one of databases I would be very surprised and I would be love to hear about it. Please feel free to Google this one.
