Could Raoul Lufbery be the inspiration for the "Cassidy" character (played by Martin Henderson) in the 2006 movie, Flyboys? -- Fandyllic 1:57 PM PDT 29 Sep 2006
According to a book written by a french friend of Lufbery , Lufbery gained American citizenship earlier than what is to date written in this article : he chose american citizenship around 20, when he was about to be recruited for military training (service) in France : he claim to be American, so he did not have to do it.
Later he engaged un american army, but he was already american.
I'm reading Shaara's book, and it shows that Lufbery was still an enlisted pilot when he left Escadrille Lafayette. (There's an interesting story about some pissant major pulling rank on him when he first comes to the American forces and is a brand new major.) Is there some evidence for the claim made here that he was CO of Escadrille Lafayette or an officer (let alone major) in French service? I see none presented here.

Image:Lufbery1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

His biplane showed at least 3 huge red swastikas, that at the time were just a good-omen symbol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 ( talk) 11:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Some lovely stories about the lion Whiskey (which I think is pretty well documented somewhere out there) and his companion Soda (whom I've never heard of), but it would be nice to have some references for this.-- Mark Asread ( talk) 18:56, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
