WW1 pilot interviews
 
Have a look at the video on this page
It contains many interviews with WW1 flyers and is very well put together.

pilot
 
During my stint driving veterans on ANZAC day in Melbourne , I was allocated the Australian Flying Corps from WW1 . This was 1979-1980 . The old chap I drove the second year was a pilot . He told me the rate of deaths among the WW1 air crews was very high . He said he was one of the few surviving original pilots from his squadron after his initial 6 months stint of duty flying RE 8 recce. aircraft . Wish I could remember his name , he was from Victoria's Western District from memory .

The first chap from 79, was an observer , in the back seat doing the plotting of artillery .

Mike
