Plenty of accounts of WW1 aeial fighting. Hiding in cloud was an
accepted and commonly used tactic.

If you think you can cloud fly using only airspeed, then make sure
your glider has terminal velocity dive brakes - you'll need them!


I have no intention of trying it ... and yes, I have proper air
brakes, thank you!
