Biography/personal
description:
Born in 1987 in Innsburck, I always
loved to see the sailing planes tourning over our heads in summertime in
the alps. I first got my feet off the ground when I was 5 years old when
my mother took my twin brother (who is a pilot with Lufthansa) on a trip
to spain and always wanted to fly ever since.
Currently I am attending law school of university of salzburg and
I hope I can finally afford my first license after I graduate.
Although I've been playing many
online games, both in command positions and as a simple soldier, I have
never experienced a game quite as enjoyable as RB. That might be that
fact that I got the game in '99 and couldnt stop playing it ever since.

Ehrenbecher
(Cup of Honour)
A
special award given from the Rittmeister himself, the Ehrenbecher was
designed by Manfred von Richthofen. This award is to be
ceremoniously given to each pilot that scores his first kill.
Awarded
in recognition for the first confirmed aerial victory. |

Iron
Cross 2nd Class
The
Iron Cross was awarded in three Classes: the Grand Cross ("Grosskreuz")
for senior commanders (only 5 awarded), 2nd Class for individual merit
in combat (5 million), and the 1st Class for acts of heroism or bravery
in combat (1 million). The Eisernes Kreuz all looked the same,
it's where you wore them that told the difference: Grand Cross
around the neck, 1st Class pinned to the left side of the tunic about
two inches above the belt, and for the 2nd Class, you merely wore the
ribbon looped through the second button hole in the front of the
uniform. The Iron Cross has the distinction of being one of the
few Prussian awards handed out to both officers and enlisted men equally
- probably because of it's long history as an award for valor. The Iron
Cross, 2nd Class, usually came after a few successful missions (for
2-seater pilots) or the first few "kills" for a Kampflieger.
Awarded
to a pilot that has scored 2 aerial victories.

Iron
Cross 1st Class
The
Iron Cross was originally established on 10 March 1813 by King Friedrich
Wilhelm III. It was reestablished in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war
and again on 5 August 1914 by Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of
Prussia. Issued in three classes, the 1914 Iron Cross was awarded
without regard for nationality or social class to combatants and
noncombatants for acts of heroism, bravery or leadership. Although the
medals of each class were identical, the manner in which each was worn
differed. Employing a pin or screw posts on the back of the medal, the
Iron Cross First Class was worn on the left side of the recipient's
uniform.
Awarded
to a pilot that has 5 Victories.

Military
Merit Cross 3rd Class with War Decoration
This
Austrian award was roughly equivalent to the Prussian award of the same
name, and was awarded for conspicuous acts of bravery. It also
appears to have been awarded to many German fliers. It lies somewhere
between the Knight’s Cross and the Blue Max in stature
Awarded
to a pilot upon achieving 10 aerial victories. |
 |
The
Military Order of St. Henry
Awarded
to serving officers, either for conspicuous personal bravery on the
battlefield or, more frequently in the case of officers of higher rank,
for merit in positions of great responsibility. The Military Order of
St. Henry was the highest Saxon decoration bestowed upon members of the
German Air Service and was most often awarded to pilots and observers of
Flieger, Feldflieger and Bomber Abteilungen.
This
medal is awarded in recognition of the 15th aerial victory.
