Major Raoul Lufbery stands before his U.S. Air Services Nieuport 28 on April 18, 1918.  The Ace's talent as a great combat patrol leader was used to teach combat tactics to the American aviators of the newly organized 94th and 95th Aero Pursuit Squadrons.  His students included many future aces such as Eddie Rickenbacker.
