    No quiet rooms and teddy bears? These men were just out of high school and college age. They had gigantic balls, Real men, men I will forever be humbled too and proud of.

      It was the same in WW II. Kids barely 19 flying planes that were the cutting edge war machines. They didn't cost million's of dollars, but they were still very expensive.

    Andrew Wareham’s Innocents at War series does a good job telling the story of WWI aviation.
