Description & Services
| Description | All-volunteer group dedicated to recreating the sights, sounds and feel of World War One combat aircraft. In doing so, the group honours the pilots who served with gallantry and distinction during the Great War of 1914-1918. They build, maintain and fly World War One replica fighter aircraft. Also offers a display of precious artifacts to take you back to that time in history. Projects and expenses are funded by annual membership fees, public donations (private and business) and air show appearances (during which pilots perform simulated dogfight type air combat). The aircraft have appeared on and are available for television shows and movies, as well as backdrops for photography sessions. |
