Gunther Plüschow (February 8, 1886 – January 28, 1931) was a German aviator, aerial explorer and author from Munich, Bavaria. His feats include the only escape by a German prisoner of war in World War One from Britain back to Germany; he was the first man to explore and film Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia from the air. He was killed on a second aerial expedition to Patagonia in 1931. As an aviator and explorer, he is honored as a hero by the Argentine Air Force to this day.

Thanks for sharing the intriguing story of German aviator and WWI veteran Gunther Plüschow SGT John " Mac " McConnell
It is cool that he was the first man to explore and film Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia from the air.
My uncle-in-law on my father's side was raised in Peru in the early 20th century. Hos father disappeared as an explorer in the hinter regions of Peru.
South America was open to exploration and going where no white man had gone before.
His life is further indication that truth can be stranger and more exciting than fiction.
