Good thing we learn from our mistakes.
The older I get the more I realize the importance of WWI. When I was younger I sort of looked down my nose at the technology available at the time. After all, nothing that flew then could beat the sleek lines of a WWII warbird on any side. WWI was archaic in comparison. The result of this being, of course, that I overlooked a crucial turning point in history.
