I grew up with an 8 volume set of The War Weekly which my father collected during WW1. From Mons to the Armistice, grainy photos, heroic lithograph drawings, maps, weekly Honour Rolls of the Fallen and jingoistic sabre rattling propaganda.
It took most of the rest of my life to unlearn such things as 'the Russians gave the Kaiser a jolly good thumping at Tannenberg' etc.
Funnily enough it wasn't until ten years ago I 'discovered' the air war.
Read the books,
They Fought For the Sky,
Sagittarius Rising, The War Birds, Wind in the Wires, The Grub Street editions etc...my son gave me my first model kit, the DR1...then I got my first computer and a old Flying Corps game...then RB3D, the rest is the usual sordid tale.
This is a great site.
