It's interesting that WW1 pilots used to fly blind in cloud regularly.
They also used to fly up to 20,000' and occasionally higher without
oxygen. It's amazing what you can do when you don;t know it's
impossible!


Indeed.
But please check the average lifespan of a WW1 pilot.

Google for "ww1 pilot lifespan".

The results on the first page only mention life spans of 15.5 flying
hours, three weeks, and a loss rate of 77 percent of the French
pilots.

Maybe the things you mentioned played a role?
