Have you ever took the time to read the various original advertisings and columns etc. in WOFF's newspapers (different for each nation), besides the headlines or aces obituary? Very beautifully done with lot of love for detail. You can even go and research in google about the various brands etc. Some of them still exist today, some of them are long gone, but you will find informations about many of them.

I like the ads for ear plugs to stop deafness in the trenches. In fact I read all the ads. It makes you realise that many officers provided most of their own equipment in those days even down to binoculars and pistols. I know that Bill Lambert of the USA in the RFC had his own boots made. They had to be removable in a few seconds unlike the issue boots. His autobiography of the war 'Combat Report' does not say exactly why he had quick release boots but I think he was a bit of a lad biggrin
