Outline

World War I begins with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

Early military pilots were essentially chauffeurs for an observer who conducted aerial recon for artillery and troop movements, as well as taking photos of the trenches within the battlefields.

This state of the art recon gave the Allies the advantage in the final battles of the war.
