Today in History



Tragically, many World War I airmen had very short lifespans. Often, they died in their early twenties during training or the initial weeks or months of air combat. The inherent dangers of early aviation, coupled with high casualty rates and aerial combat, made flying one of the deadliest occupations of the war. Many of those who survived endured trauma and injuries that had a lasting impact on their health.
