World War I was the first major conflict to see widespread use of powered aircraft invented barely more than a decade before the fighting began. Have a look.

Find a DVD of "Hell's Angels" a 1920's movie set in WW1. Or just go to Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in Southeastern New Your and watch some of these aircraft still flying.

I love Old Rhinebeck Aero! It is worth the trip just to see a rotary engine in action, seeing the ground crew turn the prop that takes the cylinders with it gives you a whole new outlook on the term 'gyroscopic forces'.

Dawn Patrol (1938) is another WW I flying movie worth seeking out.
