1914: French Sgt. Joseph Frantz and Cpl. Louis Quenault score the first air-to-air kill (not involving ramming) of World War I, shooting down a German Aviatik two-seater with machine gun fire from their Voisin III over northeast France. This is believed to be the first air-to-air kill in any war. Pictured is a different Voisin III captured during the war by German forces.
