History:
During the First World War, the Royal Flying Corps played a vital role in reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and aerial combat. Pilots flew in open cockpits, often enduring extreme cold and wind, wearing heavy sheepskin-lined coats, leather helmets, and goggles for protection. These daring aviators faced immense risks, with early aircraft offering little in the way of safety or comfort. The figure represents a typical RFC pilot of 1917–1918, reflecting the bravery and determination that helped lay the foundations for modern air warfare.
