History
Royal Flying Corps pilots in World War I often endured long hours between missions, finding brief moments of relaxation wherever possible. Smoking was a common pastime, offering a sense of normality and camaraderie amidst the stresses of war. Pilots were known for their distinctive style, combining military uniform with personalised touches. Images of airmen leaning against their aircraft, cigarette in hand, became symbolic of the human side of early aviation, balancing the daring of flight with the quiet moments on the ground.
