    Fantastic images, showing that all young men at war engage in similar off duty activities, even on the other side of the wire.

    It was my duty as a British Officer to drink as much of their wine as possible in order to prevent it falling into enemy hands, and to sap their morale. Looks as if I only had limited success on both counts.

    I had wondered; you read so much of RFC/RNAS pilots having rousing parties night after night, but little of the same from the Germans.
    No surprise, of course.
    Thanks Steve.

    SHOCKER! Young German airmen were just like their Allied adversaries! Who could have thought such a thing!

    Great to see these pics! I am very interested in what the "day to day" lives of the pilots would have been like when not flying.

    Yes common bonds in their attitudes. We must remember many of these pilots were only 18 to 20 years old & youthful exuberance would show itself.
    How many of you have watched the BBC Wings episode where Capt Triggers chaps entertain their 2 German captors & nearly allow them to escape?
    Great idea of what games the British lads got up to when partying!

    That episode was based on Kyte's escapades. Only Kytey had a better outcome and got away.
