Bristol Scout:
I concurr with your statements, Germany violated the Geneva Conventions of 1899 and subsequent, invasion of Belgium in 1914, the Zeppelin bombing of England 1915 and subsequent and the Gotha bombing in 1917 was indiscriment contrary to whatever they thought they were doing. It was civilians that were killed. The sinking of passenger ships, the Lusitania that finally brought the USA into the war. It was these acts that led to the retaliation by Great Britain into the bombing of Germany in 1918.
Once the rules of warfare are ignored and war is declared on the civilian population, you have estabished total warfare, and this is what Germany had done with the U-Boats and Zeppelins attacking civilians. The attacked must respond in kind. This is what took place with the estabishment of the Independant Force for the bombing of Germany.
Who first used poisionist gas, and the flame thrower. It was not the French British or Russians, it was Germany,The Great War ended at 11.00 am, on !! November 1918. World War 2 started on 12 November 1918 in retaliation, first planned by General Arnim von Seeck and completed by Adolf Hitler.

P.S. dave I agree, this is a Forum on the History of Military Aviation in the Great War, not the WW2.
It is not a Forum of WW2.
