It was said the men of the Royal Flying Corps' adopted the philosophy of 'live for today, tomorrow we die', such was the deadly nature of their job.

And judging by the dozens of rare photos that have emerged, it seems their German counterparts also had a similar attitude to wartime life.

...and who could blame them?  :-\  Wish they'd posted all the photos.

Very cool thanks for sharing.  I love these "windows" into the past.

Good stuff. The pic with the prop as a cross for the grave was haunting.
