    In World War I what was the 'Bottle Of Death'?

    Question #87029. Asked by stina_girl1. (Oct 08 07 12:01 PM)

    		The bottle of death was a bottle of hard liquor that the flying aces in WW1 would drink from each time an enemy plane was destroyed. For example, if an ace shot down 4 planes, he, sorry no lady pilots in WW1, would get 4 swigs from the bottle.
