Fun fact: the German pilot who killed Wehner is Georg von Hantelmann, an ace with 35 confirmed kills, two of his kills were from opposing aces David Putnam(13 kills) and Maurice Boyau(35 kills). Since Wehner is also an ace(6 kills) this makes Hantelmann a WW1 ace killer achieved in just one week. Maurice is also a rugby union player

Hydrogen is unimaginably difficult to ignite. This is because it’s atomic weight makes it so lite that it instantaneously dissipates when exposed to the air. For example it was easier for the diesel engines of the Hindenburg to ignite than the hydrogen. Also fun fact hydrogen has an invisible flame, when you see these balloons on fire it’s the skin of the balloons you are seeing burning not the hydrogen.
