Take to the skies above the Western Front as a World War I reconnaissance pilot flying one of history’s earliest military aircraft. From a cold and muddy airfield, you climb into a fragile machine of wood, wire, and canvas to study trenches, track movement, carry messages, and observe the vast battlefield below.


Experience the freezing air of an open cockpit, the relentless noise of the engine, uncertain weather, temperamental machinery, and the strange distance of seeing war from above. Between flights, mechanics inspect control wires, pilots study maps, and everyone waits to discover whether the weather and the aircraft intend to cooperate.


Settle in, get comfortable, and fall asleep to the reflective story of an ordinary aviator navigating the dangerous skies of the First World War.
