The dawn of World War I started out relatively peaceful, with few stories about the deadly aerial combat that was to come. Many people don't even consider it a war and many aircraft were destroyed before flying into battle. However, the machine-gun armed Aircraft 1 and its crew quickly became known as "the assassins of the sky." Their glory days came early in 1915 when they shot down an observation balloon carrying a French General. From then on, they became heroes and their name became synonymous with daring air combat against the enemy.
