This from Christopher Cole's "McCudden V.C." On page 40, he says: "The late A.J. Insall, a former RFC officer on the staff of the Air Ministry Historical Branch and the Imperial War Museum after the war, maintained that it was devised by Lieutenant Gordon Bell, a pioneer civil pilot who joined the RFC in 1914. Insall claimed that when Bell was being chased by a Fokker he pulled up to loop, then put on full rudder and dived out in the opposite direction, calling his manoeuvre an 'Immelmann turn' because it represented the best was to escape from the German." Whadduya think?

 We just had a long thread about what exactly the Immelmann Turn was, and couldn't come up with the definitive answer, now you want to know who did it first? [Rex runs screaming for the hills, clutching his head... ]
