Hermann Göring was born in 1893 and died by suicide in 1946. He was one of the German World War I fighter aces with 22 confirmed shootings, but also the supreme commander of the Luftwaffe during World War II and a war criminal tried by the Nuremberg Tribunal, co-responsible for the genocide of Nazi Germany. Hermann Göring began his adventure with aviation in 1915, initially serving as a pilot of observation machines. However, he quickly completed his hunting course and began assigned to Jasta 5. He had his first aviation victory in November 1915. The following year he was seriously wounded, but after healing his wounds, he returned to service. In recognition of his services, in July 1918 he was appointed commander of the famous Jasta 1 - the same unit in which Manfred von Richthofen served at the time of his death. In the same year, he was awarded the highest order of imperial Germany - Por Le Merite. After 1918 and demobilization, he very quickly established relations with the nascent Nazi party and relatively quickly became a close associate of Adolf Hitler, including participation in the so-called the Munich coup of 1923. Shortly thereafter, he fell into drug addiction. When the Nazis took power in Germany, he very quickly became one of the most important people in the state and was responsible for the construction and development of the Luftwaffe. It is quite commonly assumed that after 1941 he managed the development of this type of armed forces in an inept manner, which was due to the increasing drug addiction. He was also responsible for assigning concentration camp prisoners and forced laborers to work in factories working for the Luftwaffe. He was captured by the Western Allies in 1945, imprisoned and sentenced to death in 1946. Hermann Göring committed suicide shortly after the sentence was pronounced.

The German air force was organized in 1913 under the name of die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches, to change its name to in 1916 Luftstreitkräfte. At the time of the outbreak of World War I, they played a decisively subordinate role to the ground forces and were, moreover, quite strictly subordinated to them. It is worth adding that each German infantry division included a reconnaissance company of 6 aircraft in August 1914. However, very quickly the German air force began to expand and play an increasingly important role over the battlefield. In 1918, they had a total of about 2,700 aircraft and about 240 other aircraft. This significant quantitative development was possible, among others, thanks to a strong industrial base and a well-developed aviation industry with such factories as: Albatros Flugzeugwerke, Fokker, Pfalz Flugzeugwerke or Siemens-Schukert. The German air force also introduced many successful aircraft in the years 1914-1918, including the great Fokker Dr.I or Gotha G.IV or GV fighter, but also such unusual designs as the Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI. The German air force was also able to undergo organizational changes during the Great War, as evidenced by the establishment of specialized fighter units (German: Jagdstaffeln) in 1916. Manfred von Richthofen, known as the red baron, was undoubtedly one of the greatest Luftstreitkräfte aces, but it is also worth remembering about such pilots as: Max Immelmann, Wilhelm Frank, Oswald Boelcke, Ernst Udet or later Luftwaffe commander Herman Göring.
