Excellent sir. Marsaille was considered one of, if not the top, skilled air-to-air gunnery masters (didn't know how else to say it other than top shot) of them all. His skill with the deflection shot was par none. Posted on 7/25/14 at 11:40 am to Spaceman Spiff
Supposedly, he got kills with as few as 12-15 rounds expended. On the other hand, he claimed something like 17 kils on a day when the Allies lost only 14 or so aircraft......
ETA
Hartmann was also considered an outstanding marksman. He said 'One can kill an aircraft from as many positions as are possible, if one has a feel for deflection shooting".

Not a bad guess... but no.

That's a Hawker Hurricane.

As for the picture I posted, what you're seeing there is the aftermath of the Johnstown Flood of 1889. In short, lots of rain caused a dam to fail...

A flood did all of that? Damn...

What is this? When?

First American auto with gas powered internal combustion engine. It was called a Dureah (I know I butchered that spelling)
As for year, I have no idea. I'll guess and say 1896?

Close enought.
Ford's car was in 1896.

Running by February, 1893 and ready for road trials by September, 1893 the car built by Charles and Frank Duryea, brothers, was the first gasoline powered car in America. The first run on public roads was made on September 21, 1893 in Springfield, MA

Try this one...
Make, Model, & Country of Origin.
Bonus: This type of aircraft made history as the first to do what?

I am not much on WWI a/c. The roundels look British.
The first to shoot down a balloon (WAG)?

No. Here's a hint: This aircraft's historic first accomplishment was not war related.
Posted on 7/25/14 at 12:43 pm to Darth_Vader
should be easy. Make, location, and event?

Set some sort of altitude record? Other than that, no clue.
