WWI War Dogs & The Death-Defying Freddie Lund

During World War I, war dogs played a crucial role in battle—helping soldiers survive gas attacks, carrying messages, and even searching for the wounded. In this photo from 1919, we see these heroic canines wearing gas masks alongside their human comrades.

Meanwhile, in 1921, ‘Fearless Freddie’ Lund performed stunts that defied death—dropping from an airplane into a moving car. A World War I veteran turned air show daredevil, Lund pushed the limits of aviation until his tragic final flight.

From war heroes to aerial legends, these are the untold stories of history.
