Biography: 

This group is more like a casualty statistic than a character. The World War I aviators in "Ad Astra" keep track of their successes by counting each enemy plane they shoot down as a "Hun": thus Sartoris shoots down "three Huns" in his quest to avenge his brother's death (414), and Monaghan refers to the "thirteen Huns" he "got" (416). ("Hun" was the derogatory term the Allies used for their German opponents.)
