More wondering not so much if it was loaded, but whether it would be historically justified
within the context of the WoG system in this case.
Perhaps incendiary bullets should only be given in-game in 1915-16 games. In later games, the use of a proportion of them would be assumed within the
WoG system
by default, and therefore there isn't a justification for giving an advantage
within the game.
In which case, as it is 1918, the answer to my question would be that it would
not be historical to give them the gameplay advantage of incendiary bullets, as they are using them
already. I suppose if there are any 1917-1918 scenarios involving balloons, they should still be given, representing an usually high proportion of incendiary and explosive bullets.
Also, don't see why anybody would bother to load AP, nothing flying had any armor to penetrate in the first place, and I'd imagine that plain ball would have no difficulty going through pretty much any part of almost any plane, unless you want to cause deeper damage inside an engine or something.
