No,“Join the Air Service AND Serve in France” was an incentive back then, although the aviators very quickly developed a sense of realism about their chances (one pilot explained why he liked the SPAD XIII better than the earlier, inferior Nieuport 28: “The Spad is faster. If you get in trouble, it’s easier to run away.”)

didn’t the germans call the canadian corps, shock troops? and, much praise to the canadian corps at vimy ridge.

Join the Air Service and avoid having to see the people you’re killing.
