Searched for this in the forum and did not find it so...

I have not watched all of this but what I have is very interesting.

Stache, thanks for posting this, I've seen it before, but the interviews and historical images are just fascinating. Of course the 'modern' combat footage not so much. Sort of like watching a WWII movie when the Japanese Zeros are actually AT-6 Texans! But oh well, just there to give one the 'feel' of air to air combat in the era. Nice, educational documentary. S

Thanks Stache,id never seen this before..15000 aircraft lost in training? And in 1917 a RFC pilot with a life expectancy of only 2 weeks?

God only knows what these young men must have gone thru. Thanks again for the vid link..truly compelling stuff cheers


They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Thanks for sharing it was very interesting. Some of the video and music it seen and heard in WOFF. I have also been reading Derek Robinson,s novel titled "War Story" and he uses the story about the pilot asking some other pilot to write a letter about his death to a lady back home. Thanks again for sharing.
