Fighting the Red Baron
At the outset of WWI the aeroplane was seen as having little use other than to act as a spotter plane for the cavalry and artillery. But within six months a group of pilots transformed the role of the aeroplane into a deadly killing machine that changed the nature of warfare forever. This is the story of those six months, centering around Bloody April during which the average life expectancy of a pilot was reduced to just three weeks.
