10. Albert Ball: The Lone Wolf

Lanoe Hawker was returning from a patrol over the lines when he spotted a Nieuport of No. 11 Squadron returning to base. Deciding to show this newcomer what dog-fighting was all about, Hawker pounced on the tail of the Nieuport just to give him a scare. Hawker, however, was the one surprised when the Nieuport pilot saw the move, quickly reversed the position, and a mock dog-fight broke out in earnest. After a couple of minutes, during which neither pilot could best the other, the two British pilots waved off the friendly engagement and broke off for their respective airfields. Hawker didn't know that he had just tested a man that would become one of the most daring British aces of WWI: Albert Ball. Join Brass and Mr. Chow as they discuss the Ball's courageous and often reckless life in the skies over Europe.
