What I do like from WWI is the air combat and the pilots. Although they perhaps didn't do the largest contribution to the war, it's a piece of the history away from the muddy trenches that has a bit of shine to it.

The new war toys didn't come into play until late into WWI, and at that point trench warfare did start to become obsolete.
Don't know much about the aerial aspects of WWI, will do some research on it.
I find trench warfare interesting though.
Some interesting info on "No Man's Land":
