History:
The United States Army Air Service was established in 1918 as the aerial warfare branch of the US Army during the final year of World War I. American pilots were often trained in Europe and flew alongside Allied squadrons, operating aircraft such as the SPAD XIII and the DH.4. Preparing for a mission involved donning heavy leather flying gear, goggles, and boots to protect against the cold and wind of open cockpits. This figure captures the essential pre-flight ritual, bringing to life the human side of wartime aviation.
