I cant even imagine how anyone survived the flying war. There are so many lessons to learn...
There surely are, DC! I think a major difference between them and us simmers was simply this: They did not do the more daring things easily. They performed a very steep and fast dive when they needed to escape the guns of a chaser - but not easily just to dive on a possible target. In short: their feeling of their own true vulnerability often prevented them from being daring at all. No sim can simulate the REAL threat of loosing a leg, an eye, or even your life.

Yep, and luck. I sometimes wonder, how many more Foncks, von Richthofens and Mannocks would be known - had they not had less good luck, and therefor fallen earlier.
