How many pilots flew in every year of the war & what did they do,(2-seat/scout). I know of 2. Mcudden &
 Josef Jacobs. Can anyone add to that?

I am afraid that is a question which none of us really will have time to answer. There literally tens of thousands of aviators during WWI. At the outbreak of war, the French military had licensed (brevetted) 487 pilots, many of whom later flew in the war. By the cessation of hostilities, they had trained more than 17,000. The FAI was supposed to convert all those military licenses to civil ones, but did not-- by the end of the war, they had issued a total of about 13,600 licenses, with only 1754 having been issued by the start of the war. I am not sure anyone has good data on what every one of those thousands did, by mission or plane type. Now, if you have a more specific question..... Doc
