George A. Vaughn, Jr. is the highest scoring American ace from World War I. Born in 1897, he grew up in Brooklyn, NY and enrolled in Princeton University in 1915. In February 1917, Vaughn signed up for the Princeton Aviation School. Concerned about passing the physical exam, he nevertheless paid $8.50 for a uniform. He was selected and soon began to fly the Curtis “Jenny.” In June 1917, his aviation class enlisted in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. George Vaughn won his first eight victories in the SE-5A, an airplane that was fast, extremely strong, and easy to fly. The painting shows Vaughn about to score his first victory after a bright yellow Pfalz D III took a shot at him. He was shocked and outraged. Breaking formation, Vaughn made a climbing turn to the right pursuing the Pfalz, and closed the range as the enemy pilot headed east into Germany. His adversary dove as the range continued to close. Vaughn opened fire at 100 yards and expended 200 rounds of ammunition from his Vickers gun. The Pfalz began smoking, fell some 500 feet, and burst into flames.
