The First World War began to hammer aircraft into reliable flying form only ten summers after man's first flight. These first warplanes, born as sport planes, soon evolved into the lethal aircraft that swarmed over the bloody trenches of Europe. They altered the history of the world and carried the dreams and the nightmares of all mankind on their wings.

Nieuport 17s, Fokker Triplanes, Sopwith Camels - they're all here and photographed with modern equipment, making for a stunning collection of these remarkable planes in action.
