Name some air battles of ww1?
Airplanes were used as observation planes during WWI; they adjusted artillery fire. WWI was a war of artillery & infantry. Aviation was new; therefore, since artillery was consistently used, and planes spotted artillery, nearly every land battle during WWI had some form of aerial combat taking place ABOVE the battle field...e.g the Somme, Verdun, etc.

How has shell shock affected soldiers and civilians who were involved in the Vietnam War?
WWI coined the term "shell shock" as WWI was basically one long battle of trench warfare in which artillery was the primary weapon, along with the infantry assaults. WWI is known for it's consumption of untold millions of fired artillery shells. Men living under those conditions of steady and constant high explosive shells exploding around them day after day, and week after week, would suddenly go numb. They could look you in the face, and their eyes were just staring at you, and thru you; as if they were in a trance. They would act like a robot if you spoke to them. They had temporarily lost their minds. WWII did not have the same intensity of the WWI artillery barrages on the same level. WWII had bigger and more powerful artillery, but the infantrymen did not have to live under the constant artillery bombardment that the WWI men had. WWII was far more MOBILE than for that to happen. WWI was a stationary war (trench warfare), WWII was a mobile war, it didn't stalemate, generally. There were some exceptions, as there always are. For WWII servicemen, "Shell Shock" became known as "Battle Fatigue." The results were basically the same, the name just changed. The man still acted as described above. Korea and Vietnam utilized both terms. The symptoms were the same.
