Topic Description:

2014-2018 is the 100th anniversary of World War One. The war in the air has been popularized by Snoopy ("Curse you, Red Baron!"), and remember as the idealized or "noble" combat in four years of mind-numbing slaughter. But the true story about the fighter aircraft and aces is a fascinating tale of technological achievements and fierce competition for control of the skies. Dana Lombardy, owner of Lombardy Studios, has appeared on multiple episodes of The History Channel's "Tales of the Gun" series, and publishes World War One Illustrated magazine for the non-profit World War One Historical Association.
