8 Celebrity Air Aces Of The First World War

Aviation was one of the most romanticised elements of the First World War. 'Air aces' in particular achieved celebrity status both during and after the war and their photographs regularly appeared in newspapers. Of the eight aces listed here, seven were killed in action between 1916 and 1918 or died in flying accidents during or after the war.

Whizz Bangs And Wind-Ups: 10 Tommy Slang Terms

5 Handmade Objects Crafted By First World War POWs

Within the first six months of the First World War, more than 1.3 million prisoners were held in Europe. Prisoners of war of all nations produced a wide variety of handmade items. Some of these filled practical requirements, some were a way of coping with the monotony of captivity, while others were intended as a means of earning money for cigarettes or other comforts.
