Fear - an aviation Thursday Prompt
I was inspired by 
Kadomatsu's wonderful image which is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23767206/
This one is a tad longer than my usual, but trust me it goes quick.

Have to say, the longer length benefited this one. You captured both characters well, along with the gravity of their situation. Admittedly I chucked the way you conveyed the pilot's french accent, but it felt charming after a bit.
Its always good to see stories on the first World War, especially since many of the veterans have passed on; some of their accounts of the events lost to time.

'events lost to time'
you are so very right Hania... even in your own life - look back to when you were a child and watch for the differences. We went through Hurricane Andrew and because we had to, we got a cell phone (called the brick) and our first computer (a 486). How different even those times were.
thank you for your kind words...

Aye, myself and my folks endured Hurricane Ivan, Dennis and to an extent - Katrina(we lived in Pensacola at the time, so only had the storm's outer bands pass over.) I remember during the former, having to use one of those portable radios from the 1990s to listen in on reports(it was kind of a brick as well.)
My first PC was probably an E-Machines 533i with Windows 98, kept it in such good shape that it lasted until 2009.
Different; yes and a tad melancholic in a way.
No problem, I tend to go out of my way to comment when it comes to your work, as I always have some thought or another on it. *smiles*

Oh, Orville did. On April 1944, 40 years after his first flight, he flew on second production Lockheed Constellation piloted by Howard Hughes (I'm surprised at the number of time this guy appeared in our conversation) , he even briefly handled the control and commented that Wingspan of the Connie was longer than the distance of his first flight.
"We dared to hope we had invented something that would bring lasting peace to the earth. But we were wrong ... No, I don't have any regrets about my part in the invention of the airplane, though no one could deplore more than I do the destruction it has caused. I feel about the airplane much the same as I do in regard to fire. That is, I regret all the terrible damage caused by fire, but I think it is good for the human race that someone discovered how to start fires and that we have learned how to put fire to thousands of important uses."

That was quite an engrossing ride, despite being so short.
You did a wonderful job giving a very real sense of the whole thing in so few pages, especially the closeness of the relationship between these two. I could almost feel the flight, like I was up there with them. Everything was so vivid and real in my mind's eye; the plane and the pock-marked, barren no-man's land and serpentine trench networks far below, the clouds, the flak bursts, American SPADs tangling with Fokkers. This was a great little read!
