Rickenbacker height ?

Bonjour,

After Manfred....
Does anyone know Rickenbacker's height?...
I am looking for a figure... and it seems me important to have a "sort" of relation between the "ace" , the airplane and an other pilot....
It would be absurd to have Manfred and Lothar, together on a diorama at same size... or both in 54mm ( 1.32 )
Or french king Francois 1er ( 2,00 m ) on side of MvR ( 1.60 ) on the same display show-case...

Rickenbacker

Bonjour, Philippe!

Eddy was one of those "lanky" Americans! He stood 6' 2" tall.

Cheers!

Tom

Whaouuuuuuu, 1.88 metre.....
He need a shoe-horn to climb in his spad.....
" Il faisait corps avec son avion "...translation ( himself and his Spad, was one )
Just for joke.. Eddie was an authentic "Ace" , a great racing man and a gentleman...
