Thank you Ron,
it is interesting to analyse the Cavalry evolution. As you know one of the Cavalry tasks was the observation. Using horses it was easier to go inside enemies fields in order to spy the enemy deployment. With the aircraft this task becomes more and more easier. For the Army Staff it makes sense to give the first aircrafts to the Cavalry. In the modern armies the Cavalry uses helicopters with the same purposes of the first aircraft in the WWI. It uses also light and fast tanks to break into enemy position, look and eventually fire.

Ciao
