INTRODUCTION
When the Wright brothers invented the worlds first practicable aircraft in 1903, they had a dream that flight would bring the worlds people closer together. It didnt take long, of course, for someone to come up with the nightmare ruse of turning the airplane into a weapon. Bombs could be dropped from it. Bullets could be fired from it. Whoever first took up a gun in his tiny canvas and wood aircraft is lost to history, but by the Balkans War of 1912 the armed flying machine was in service... and the fighter pilot born.
