Major Raoul Lufbery by his Nieuport 28 in an American uniform , after his transfer to the US Air Service from La Fayette Escadrille .
While flying with the La Fayette , he was their highest scoring ace . Just three months later his Nieuport caught fire during a dogfight above the 94th US Squadron , at Maron . Lufbery , who had always sworn that he would never burn to death , tried to extinguish the flames by shutting off the engine and sideslipping , first to the left then to the right without much success . Horrified , onlookers on the ground saw him climbing out of the cockpit , crawling back along the fuselage towards the tail and letting go , falling three thousand feet to his death .
