OK, I've got a better chance at winning a million bucks on Uranus, than I have of guessing who this kid is. No more playing in the sandbox until I know nationality, sex, and wether or not granny spit in his hair.

Wow! Well lets see; The info out there - he is male. He became a WWI pilot & "Ace". Definately European. He did come from a well to do family. He was a descent of Royals. (mother's line 2 kings and a Duke's lineage). He was originally rejected for infantry duties.

By the way I have spoken to the lottery commission and your million dollars can be claimed but you will have to get passed the Klingons around Uranus.
