Seeing as he has been mentioned here I'd just recommend the film 'The Red Baron' of 2008, I thoroughly enjoyed it (along with Flyboys of the same year about the Lafayette Escadrille).
I don't know if this has been brought up before but here's a topic to gross-out to.......early engines running on Castor oils (and so burning them surrounding the pilots in the fumes), not only did those poor sods have to suffer the terrifying possibilities of fighting (with no parachutes) each other in relatively flimsy planes but the planes themselves by virtue of the engines could cause serious, er, 'trouser accidents' thanks to the castor oils used.
Lovely huh?
seldom is the constant explosive diarrhea and abdominal cramps mentioned.
Sad testimony to human barbarism. War is hell, and trophies of war, and the quest to get the trophies often turn men into animals. I remember seeing young soldiers carrying cameras to photograph their kills as if it were a sport. I remember asking them what they were going to tell their children someday, when they find those photos.
