Well I really like WWI and I was wondering if any agrees with me, I find it very intersting. I think lynn macdonalds books on the subject are the best.

I can't say I "like" it, because it was a war. But, there are some parts that a very interesting.
In particular, I have studied the air war. The planes were almost too elegant and colorful to be war machines. They were still pretty experimental then, so a lot of interesting ideas were tried.
The rotary engines spun with the propellers and threw oil all over the place, including the pilots. There was no accelerator; you governed the speed of the engine by turning it on and off.
Some of the stories make good reading, like Willy Coppens accidentally landing on an observation balloon, and a Russian airman who downed an enemy plane by hitting it with a grappling hook on a rope.
Screw luxury; resist convenience.
Yeah but I like the ground war best, I mean the somme is the most intense battle EVER tannenberg is one of the most desisive battles EVER and 3rd ypres (paschendale) the creepiest battle EVER Verdun the most intense battle EVER. It just is the most interesting war to study.
