Nothing to do with Porsche or cars but that's O.K for the O.K Corral! :lol:

I am not a golfer and have never been interested in the game but this WSJ article headline caught my eye. A refreshing change from regular WSJ stuff made my morning better. Amazing aerial views from almost a century ago when photos from on high were a relatively new phenomenon. Massive cameras! Nice story too. Would love to see more of the photographs from this WWI pilot.

Wildly different times ...
