Max Immelmann was a pioneering figure in fighter aviation during World War I, being the first German flying ace and receiving the prestigious Pour le Mérite award for his achievements. Though often incorrectly credited with achieving the first aerial victory using a synchronized gun, this feat was actually accomplished by Kurt Wintgens. Immelmann is also known for popularizing the flying tactic known as the Immelmann turn, which remains a significant technique in aviation. His legacy continues to be honored in the aviation community.
