Enzo Ferrari From Birth To Exotic Car Empire
Born in Emilia-Romagna, and raised in Modena, Italy, Enzo Ferrari grew up with little formal education but an irresistible desire to race vehicles. During World War I he was a mule-skinner in the Italian military. His granddad, Alfredo, died in 1916 as a result of a widespread Italian influenza outbreak. Enzo became sick himself and was therefore discharged from Italian service. On coming back home he discovered that the family business had fell down. Having no other job prospects he sought unsuccessfully to find employment at Fiat and at last settled for a job at a smaller car company called CMN redesigning used truck bodies into tiny, passenger autos. He took up racing in 1919 on the CMN team, but had tiny first success.
He left CMN in 1920 to work at Alfa Romeo and racing their autos in local races he had more success. In 1923, racing in Ravenna, he purchased the Prancing Horse badge which decorated the fuselage of Francesco Baracca's (Italy's leading ace of WWI ) SPAD fighter, given from his mother, taken from the wreckage of the aeroplane after his puzzling death. This icon would wait till 1932 to be plastered on a racing vehicle. In 1924 he won the Coppa Acerbo at Pescara. His successes in local races encouraged Alfa to offer him a chance of much more celebrated competition and he was praised by Mussolini. Ferrari turned this opportunity down and in a funk he did not race again till 1927 and even then his racing career was often over. He continued to work without delay for Alfa Romeo till 1929 before beginning Scuderia Ferrari as the racing team for Alfa.
Ferrari managed the development of the factory Alfa autos, and built up a gang of over forty drivers, including Giuseppe Campari and Tazio Nuvolari. Ferrari himself continued racing till the birth of his first son in 1932 (Alfredo Ferrari, known as Dino, who died in 1956 ) .
The support of Alfa Romeo lasted until 1933 when finance restrictions made Alfa withdraw. Only at the intervention of Pirelli did Ferrari receive any automobiles at all. In spite of the quality of the Scuderia drivers the company won few victories ( 1935 in Germany by Nuvolari was a prominent exception ). Vehicle Union and Mercedes ruled the era.
In 1937 Alfa took control of its racing efforts again, reducing Ferrari to Director of Sports under Alfa's engineering director. Ferrari shortly left, but a contract clause restricted him from racing or planning for four years.
He set up Auto-Avio Costruzioni, a company supplying parts to other racing teams. But in the Mille Miglia of 1940 the company manufactured two cars to compete, driven by Alberto Ascari and Lotario Rangoni. During WWII his firm was concerned in war production and following bombing relocated from Modena to Maranello. It was not until after World War II that Ferrari tried to lose his fascist reputation and make cars bearing his name, founding today's Ferrari S.p. A. In 1945.
The 1st open-wheeled race was in Turin in 1948 and the first victory came later in the year in Lago di Garda. Ferrari took part in the Formula 1 World Championship since its introduction in 1950 but the 1st victory wasn't till the English Grand Prix of 1951. The 1st championship came in 1952-53, when the Formula One season was raced with Formula 2 autos. The company also sold production sports cars to to finance the racing endeavours not only in Grand Prix but also in events like the Mille Miglia and Le Mans. Indeed plenty of the firm's greatest victories came at Le Mans ( fourteen victories, including 6 in a row 1960-65) rather than in Grand Prix, actually the company was more concerned there than in Formula One in the 1950s and 1960s despite the successes of Juan-Manuel Fangio ( 1956 ), Mike Hawthorn (1958), Phil Hill (1961) and John Surtees ( 1964 ) .
In the 1960s the issues of reduced demand and inadequate financing forced Ferrari to permit Fiat to take a position in the company. Ford had tried to buy the firm in 1963 for US$18 million but had been rejected. The company became joint-stock and Fiat took a little share in 1965 and then in 1969 they increased their holding to half of the company. ( In 1988 Fiat's holding was increased to 90%).
Ferrari remained managing director until 1971. Despite stepping down he stayed a power over the firm until his remained a power over The input of Fiat took some time to have effect. It was not till 1975 with Niki Lauda that the firm won any championships with Niki Lauda that the skill of the driver and the capability of the driver and the deficiencies of the framework and aerodynamics. But after those the framework and the guarantee of Jody Scheckter title in 1979, the company's Formula One championship hopes fell into the doldrums. 1982 opened with a strong fell into the 126C2, world-class drivers, and promising results robust vehicle, the early races.
However, Gilles Villeneuve was finished leads to the 126C2 in May, and colleague Didier Pironi had his career cut short in a violent end over end flip on the misty backstraight at Hockenheim in August. Pironi was leading the driver's flip on the time; he would lose the lead Aug. Pironi was leading the driver's championship at the time ; he would not see championship glory again during Ferrari's lifetime.
Enzo Ferrari died in Modena in 1988 at the age of 90 at the beginning of the dominance of the McLaren Honda mixture. The sole race which McLaren did the start of the Italian Grand Prix - this was held just weeks after Enzo's death, and, fittingly, the result was a 1-2 finish for Ferrari, with Gerhard Berger leading home Michele Alboreto. After Enzo's death, thee Scuderia Ferrari team has had further success, notably with Michael Schumacher from 1996-2005.
Made a Cavaliere del Lavoro in 1952, to add to his honours of Cavaliere and Commendatore in the 1920s, Enzo also received a number of honorary degrees, the Hammarskjöld Prize in 1962, the Columbus Prize in 1965, and the De Gasperi Award in 1987. In 1994, he was posthumously inducted into the International Motorsports Hall-Of-Fame. Enzo the De Gasperi Award in his fountain pen, though the reason posthumously inducted into this remains unclear.
After the death of his child, Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, Enzo wore sunglasses just about every day to honor his son.

Did WWI pilots get credited a kill for shooting down a balloon?
A read about Frank Luke shooting down 14 balloons and 4 aircraft in a short period of time. His total aerial victories was 18. Does that mean 18 aircraft or 14 balloons and 4 aircraft? Were balloons considered a kill?
Balloons counted as kills. They were surrounded by multiple AAA sites and due to the short range of the plane's guns, the attacking plane had to get very close to the target. There was no such thing as a stand-off weapon. Hazardous, indeed! The equivalent of hunting grizzlies with a .22 caliber rifle. It can be done, but really risky.
