 * Notable due to his status as a Flying ace with 81 claimed kills. As you can see in List of World War II flying aces - flyers with a much smaller kill count have articles - with the notability being their kill count and nothing else. Being an aerial ace (with a significant count for a particular conflict - 5 would be borderline for WWII, but would confer significance in any other conflict - 81 is clearly significant for WWII - only German pilots (+1 Finnish) achieved this high a count (to be fair the Luftwaffe flew pilots until they died - not retiring them to command or training)).Icewhiz (talk) 09:43, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Story today about him flying a Spitfire, eg BBC News, The Times. Not sure whether this qualifies, but it was what sent me here (as a non-specialist) to look him up. 86.181.38.222 (talk) 07:58, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The Spitfire story got me here as well, and that flight certainly has re-kindeled "is the Spitfire better than the Messerschmidt 109" debates on the various news commentary boards. From what Ive read on http://warfarehistorynetwork.com/daily/wwii/a-luftwaffe-aces-joy-ride-in-a-spitfire/ Hugo Brock never actually fought Spitfires since on the eastern front  donated Spitfires to the USSR withdrawn from service nearly as quickly as they were introduced.  It seems, among other things, they were mistaken for German aircraft  and shot down by the Russians themselves.


 * FYI, from the headlines and body of articles read, I thought at first the the 95 year old Brock flew the Spitfire himself., The news articles could be more clear that Brock was just sitting in the cockpit of a two seat  trainer Spitfire  while another person, the actual pilot, was handling the controls.SteamWiki (talk) 16:25, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
