Norms got a point. Lots of elements to history, but the human connection is what makes it worth telling, revisiting, or modelling. I think aviation is full of lots of cool facts & histories because people have really pushed the envelope of what is possible (in areas of engineering, materials, construction, perfomance, and human physical limits) with airplanes. - That's just - imho.

One cool fact I found when I was doing some research into my Wyvern build was that a wyvern pilot actually ejected from his plane from underwater.
