Thank you Mauro, always a pleasure to hear from you and learn something new. I was not aware that the early pilots were drawn from the Cavalry. I guess that with the advent of aircraft into warfare, the pilots had to come from somewhere, and I am sure those young daredevils were happy to swap a horse for an airplane!<hr /></blockquote>Dear Ron:

Freiherr von Richtofen was a very fine Cavalry officer before he became the "Red Baron".

Sleeping in a warm bed and staying out of knee deep mud sounds like a pretty good alternative to me!!
