Question: This aircraft set and still holds the low-level (<100m) speed record for an air-breathing aircraft; bonus points for naming the pilot and the "unofficial" top speed of the aircraft (versus the official speed)."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish.

F-104 Starfighter "Red Baron" Which was owned by Darryl Greenameyer.
Greenameyer was a SR-71 test pilot at Lockheed Skunk works.

He was also involved with "Kee Bird" saga. Kee Bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unfortunately, the tracking camera malfunctioned on his first sanctioned pass when he exceeded 1000 mph at 100', so he had to go again, which is when he recorded the 988 mph run. Go here for some photos of the run.
To add insult to injury, while practicing with the F-104RB for the ultimate altitude record by an air-breathing aircraft (set by the Russians with a one-off MiG-25, the Ye-266M, in 1977), his left gear refused to retract or extend, so he was forced to punch-out at 10,000', and the RB was destroyed in the ensuing crash, ending Greenameyer's record attempt (which is still held by the MiG-25/Ye-266).

Correct!
Designed in 1917 by Adolf Rohrbach, the Zeppelin-Staaken E-4 was a stressed metal monocoque fuselage canatlevered monoplane four-engined passenger aircraft with galley, w.c., baggage stowage and full communications. The most advanced aircraft of its time, the E.4/20 flew successfully in 1920. Completed after the armisitice and extensively tested by the Allies who ordered it destroyed because of its potential as a bomber - it was faster than any Allied fighter of the day. It was dismantled in 1922. It set the standard for future passenger airplanes.
