random things,, interested in ww1 history, great war pilots, and karl-emil schäfer

I suppose it's not too late for an introductory blog no? 😅

Anyway, my name is Shai, a girl from the Philippines who has nothing to do but post about WW1 pilots and other historical stuff. Sometimes I post art too! (and the occasional Karl-Emil Schäfer appreciation posts)

In important addition, I am simply 17 with a passionate hobby, so my resources may be limited— I still care about accuracy so any additions or corrections to any of my posts are very welcome!

The shattered windscreen and uniform of James McCudden’s SE5a. Formally a royal flying mechanic, McCudden’s success lay not in reckless bravery, but in professionalism and thorough knowledge of his machine. He crashed to his death when his engine stalled shortly after takeoff.

“Dogs were our special favourites… and every stray dog we could find we would pick up and bring it home. Finally we had a huge collection of them… they were all good dogs.”
