LUFBERRY - AIR HERO
Something About the Man Who
Won Fame Fighting the
German*
Lieut. Gervais Ravoul Lufberry,1
an “Ace” of the Lafayette Esca- J
drille, whose death was announced
a few days ago, was a daring avi
ator and had been decorated with
four military medals awarded for
aerial bravery. His life had been
full of adventure even before he :
though of becoming an airman. |
During the time that he was en
gaged in war flying, he downed
I more than a dozen enemy planes. |
Fifteen years ago the a viator, j
then seventeen years old, left his
home in Wallingford, Conn., and set
out to see the world. First he went
to France, the land of his progeni-:
tors. He visited Paris, Marseilles,
Bourges, and other cities. Then he ^
went to Africa.
In Turkey he worked for some 1
time in a restaurant. His plan was
t to visit a city get a job that would
I keep him until he had seen what
| he desired, and then depart to a
' new field of adventure. In this
1 manner he traveled through Europe,
| Africa and South America. In 1906
j he returned to his home and went
. to New Orleans, enlisted in the,
I United States army, and was sent
to the Philippine Islands. Two
years later, upon being mustered
out, Lufberry visited Japan and
China, exploring those countries
thoroughly. Then he went to India
and worked as a ticket-collector on
a Bombay railroad. While engaged
at this occupation he kicked out of
the railway station one of the most
, prominent citizens of Bombay The
latter had insisted that Lufberry
say “sir” to him. The aviator al
ways did have a hot temper.
Lufberry’s next occupation and
the business to which he remained
attached, was had at Saigon, Cochin
China, where he met met Marc
Pourpe, a young French aviator,
who was giving flying exhibitions
in Asia. He needed an assistant.
Lufberry never had seen an air
plane, but he applied for the job
and got it.
The two men gave exhibitions
j over the French provinces of Indo
j China. After one of these flights
■ the king of Cambodia was so pleas
■ ed that he presented each aviator
j with a decoration that entitled him
j to a guard of honor on the streets
i of any town within the realm.
Lufberry and Pourpe, now insep
I arable comrades, went to Paris to
I get a new airplane. War was de
I dared, and Pourpe volunteered as
an aviator. Lufberry, who was anx
I ious to be with his friend, tried also
' to enlist, but was told that he must
1 enter the Foreign Legion as he was
j not a French citizen.
] Pourpe was shot to death during
one of his wonderful air feats; and
j wishing to avenge the death of his
. friend, Lufberry asked to be trained
as an airplane pilot. His request
was granted and in the summer of
11916 he went to the front as a mem
! ber of the American Escadrille. It
j was on August 4 of that year that
i he brought down his third enemy
plane, and soon afterward was
| decorated with the Military Medal
1 and the French War-Cross with the
following citation:
“Lufberry, Raoul, sergeant with
j the escadrille No. 124; a mo^el of
! skill, sang froid, and courage. Has
J distinguished himself by numerous
! long-distance bombardments and by
j the daily combats which he delivers
I to enemy airplanes On July 31 he
! attacked at short range a group of
1 four German airplanes. He shot one
' of them down near our lines. On
•August 4, 1916, he succeeded in
| bringing down a second one.”
Two or more combats a day in
j the air came to be a common occur
| rence with Lufbery, and many
| times he returned to the base with
j his machine full of holes and his
clothing cut by German bullets.
| When Lufbery heard of the death
' of Kiffin Rockwell he ordered his
■ gasoline tank refilled and soared in
to the sky in the hope of avenging
I the death of his comrade. But no
1 enemy machine was to be found
During the bombardment of the
Mauser factories on October 12,
1916, the intrepid aviator brought
down a three-manned aviatik. Thi.
was counted as his fifth officia'
victory and gained him additiona.

honors. It was during this raid that
Norman Prince was mortally
wounded.
After the escadrille had moved to
the Somme battle-field, Lufberry. on
November 9 and 10, brought down
two more German planes These,
however, fell to far within their
own lines to be placed to his offi
cial credit. On Decern' c.- 27, 1915,
he nearly lost his life in bringing
dowi his sixth flie.- if the enemy.
I’our bullets riddled the ma< hme
close to his body. For this victory
he received the Cross of the Legion
of Honor.
In March of this year he was offi
cially credited with bringing down
his seventh German aircraft. The
others have been sent hurtling to
the earth at different times since
then.
Lufberry was a quiet, level-headed
man. His particular friend in the
Lafayette Escadrille of American
fliers was Sergeant Paul Pavelka,
who also hails from Connecticut, and
who has himself seen quite a bit of
the world. Lufbery had his own
special methods of attacking enemy
airplanes; he was cool, cautious and
brave, and an exceptionally fine shot.
When he was a soldier in the United
States army he won and held the
marksmanship medal of his regi
ment He had been cited in army
orders twice since August 1910.
