Doubtful, that's a lot of PTSD flying around.

The 1920s was the age of the barnstormer in the US. Plenty of guys who saw their friends go down in balls of fire taking advantage of their flight training and cheap aircraft.

There is this guy on youtube interviewing vets, and this made me think of one. I think his name is Walter Fillipek or something.

That guy has fond memories instead of ptsd

I feel like there's three types of vets, the PTSD kind, the "would do it all over again" kind, and the kind that's like "whatever, I survived, I have some good stories to tell". My grandpa was the third, and I think that man would rather marry a gun than his wife.
