I happen to find WW I to be much more interesting than any other America was involved in, the convoluted politics alone worthy of a lifetime of study. In any case, here is a kind of log for American air units in that war that I thought some would like to read through.

Did you have any relatives fight in WWI? I got a few pics of my Gramps who went over to France to bail them out back then. Soggy trenches and poison gas. :(

My father's uncle died in that war.

My grandfather and several great-uncles served. Most did not see combat. Relatively few Americans did see any, but some 2 million went.

I actually heard an interesting little factoid about the assassination of Ferdinand.

There was either some kind of warning or something else that made the people change the route of the parade for safety reasons, which threw the plot into a tailspin. As they were trying to figure out what to do in their hide-out, one of the guys went outside for a smoke, and lo and behold! the parade was coming down the street he was standing on.

My vote goes to WWII for the sheer "real war"ness of it. If any conflict were to define what a "war" was, I think it'd be WWII.
