Far from being the hoped-for "War to End All Wars," World War I presaged the coming mechanized horrors of the 20th century. Most significantly, it was the first major conflict in which the skies became a battleground. Aircraft were used for photo reconnaissance, artillery spotting, bombing runs and aerial dogfights to determine who would control the "wild blue yonder. Three flyers killed during the First World War are buried in McLean County, although none died in combat. All the same, their stories speak to the dangerous and often deadly world of early aircraft design and military flight training. Two were killed while training and the other while piloting an experimental aircraft. The crashes occurred in Canada, Texas and Long Island, N.Y. One aviator flew under the Canadian flag, an...

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- Plane crashes in which the pilot failed to notice that the aircraft was tilting before losing control and crashing led to Air Force research into ways of alerting pilots to the problem before it became dangerous. Congress directed the research because of concerns that general- aviation pilots -- those who fly small private planes or business aircraft -- collectively had higher crash rates than those of commercial pilots. Government officials were also concerned that general-aviation fliers might stray into restricted air space, where they could collide with military aircraft or risk interception by military jets for security reasons.
