Various posts have mentioned using balloons and/or airships for recon and artillery spotting. Has anyone thought about the religious and social effects of flight? Clyntahn's response will set a new record for apoplexy since up to now the EoC has been seducing people into demon worship. With flight he will say the EoC is stealing the very powers of the angels themselves. John and Joan Q Public's response could also be problematic.

Many times discussed.

Oh well, if shortening the front is what the Germans crave,
Let's shorten it to very end - the length of Fuhrer's grave.

In particular, there has been speculation about whether the Archangels thought to specifically say in the Proscriptions that travel through the air is the prerogative of the angels. It would be a plausible precaution, but we have no textev either way on the issue.
