Friedrich Noltenius
''Leutnant'' Friedrich Theodor Noltenius (8 January 1894 – 12 March 1936) was a German flying ace during the First World War, with a total of 21 official victories. From July 1914 to July 1917, he served with distinction as an artilleryman. He transferred to the ''Luftstreitkräfte'' (Imperial German Air Force) and became a fighter pilot. After his aerial combat career began with a horrifying incident, Noltenius began shooting down enemy observation balloons and airplanes on 10 August 1918. His battle claims were sometimes unsuccessfully disputed with other pilots, including his commanding officers. Despite the resulting transfers between units, Noltenius continued his success, being credited with his 21st victory on 4 November 1918. Only the war's end a week later barred him from receiving Germany's highest award for valor, the ''Pour le Mérite''. Noltenius became a medical doctor after the war ended.

The concept of the "ace" emerged in 1915 during World War I, at the same time as aerial dogfighting. It was a propaganda term intended to provide the home front with a cult of the hero in what was otherwise a war of attrition. The individual actions of aces were widely reported and the image was disseminated of the ace as a chivalrous knight reminiscent of a bygone era. For a brief early period when air-to-air combat was just being invented, the exceptionally skilled pilot could shape the battle in the skies. For most of the war, however, the image of the ace had little to do with the reality of air warfare, in which fighters fought in formation and air superiority depended heavily on the relative availability ...

Henry Noltenius
Heinrich "Henry" Noltenius (11 August 1820 – 10 January 1884) was a German settler in the British colony of South Australia, and a prominent wine and spirit merchant. History Noltenius was born in Bremen, and arrived in South Australia in September 1843 aboard ''Madras'' from London. In 1848 he joined the firm of Joseph Stilling & Co., then in June 1859 left and founded Noltenius and Co., wine and spirit merchants of 75 King William Street. Was he involved with brother B. A. Noltenius in Noltenius, Meyer & Co. (founded c. 1848)? Noltenius purchased the Halifax Street brewery from W. H. Clark in February 1858, and five months later took on W. K. Simms as a partner, then sold him his share of the business. Both Clark and Noltenius were in debt to the bank. Clark left South Australia for the eastern colonies, out of reach of South Australia's laws, but Noltenius remained. Noltenius & Co. dissolved around 1882 and he worked as a traveller for W. B. Rounsevell & Co, but his heal ...
