| | Noltenius planned to follow his father into medicine but he joined an artillery regiment when the war began. He transferred to the German Air Service by the end of 1917 and scored his first victory over a Sopwith Dolphin in August 1918. A month later, his Fokker D.VII was shot down by a Sopwith Camel piloted by George Vaughn, an American ace. Noltenius survived the incident to become one of the last German pilots to receive the Knight's Cross with Swords of the Order of the House of Hohenzollern. |
