I just red this news about an air crash between two biplanes recreating a First World War dogfight:

I feel very sorry for the accident victims, and this news made me think again about how hard should have been to fly with these planes during old times.

Even moving around counters can give us a pale idea of the risks taken, so I really can't imagine what kind of men are needed to decide in a split second wether to stall or not, just in front of an enemy firing plane while another enemy plane is approaching.

Just a thought I wanted to share.
