Call of Duty: The Great War
This website is massive and would take forever to see it all. So, I spent time looking at the air battles and propaganda posters.
The history about the fighter planes was really quite interesting. It gave the history of how the fighters developed throughout the war. Considering that this was the first war that the option of using planes was there, it is not surprising that there was a whole lot of innovation, along with the designers trying to find out what would be the best for the planes, and where to put the guns. It was also need how it mentioned The Red Baron (real name Manfred von Richthofen).
The section on the propaganda was also interesting. You could see the difference between the propaganda style between Germany and America. Granted the German propaganda posters were in German but you could tell just by the look.
I think that it is important that there is a website detailing the Great War. Considering it is often shadowed compared to World War II, it needs some publicity. I mean, the History Channel defiantly has more stuff on WWII and you don't see any "Call of Duty: The Great War." So definitely, good website for World War 1 stuff.

I had no idea that the Red Baron was even a real person until I read this article. I thought he was just some made up guy by paranoid US pilots. Learn something new every day.
