... that less than four months after getting his aviator's certificate in 1916 18-year-old George McCubbin(pictured) piloted the aircraft that shot down German ace Max Immelmann? "gaining his aviator's certificate in March that year at the age of 18" from: Bowman, Martin W. (30 August 2017). Escaping Soldiers and Airmen of World War I. Casemate Publishers. p. 142. ISBN978-1-4738-6324-8. "on June 18th one of our F.E. aeroplanes whilst patrolling over Annay, at about 9 p.m., attacked three Fokkers ... Extracts from the German newspapers relating to the death of Lieutenant Immelmann make it clear that the pilot received his death as outlined above" from: Turner, Charles Cyril (1919). The struggle in the air, 1914-1918. London : E. Arnold. pp. 66–67.
ALT1: ... that 18-year-old George McCubbin(pictured) piloted the aircraft that shot down German ace Max Immelmann in 1916? Sources as above
Overall: Great article about an interesting, and clearly very able, individual. Both hooks are interesting with a preference for Alt 0, I cannot read the Bowman source but the Turner source clearly states what is said above, AGF. Earwig shows the closest is a 5.7% match to espn.co.uk. This picture is appropriate as it is taken of the individual recovering from the injuries sustained in the action covered in both hooks.
