ACKTUALLY, they shot at each other with sidearms and tried to throw grenades and stuff at each other. IIRC, the first air kill is a British co-pilot firing at another plane. There's also an instance where somebody attached a machine gun to the side or wings of plane for this or something and they got reprimanded for being too badass. (And presumably having an extra two hundred pounds or whatever on one side of the plane is not the best way to fly an old timey plane.)

There were also instances where dudes decided to fire through the propeller anyway. I assume the logic was that they'd take out the other guy before ruining it and still be able to land. You probably got reprimanded for this too if you made it back.

How did I know Benji was going to "well actually" that? Lol

(Well the reason is because anyone who knows anything about biplanes and world war I would know that)

I'm kind of a military history nerd and I have friends that send me shit like that thinking I will think it's funny. But my history knowledge(autism) won't let me enjoy the joke.
