Contrails and Aviation History

[TNWPsycho]

Not trying to get into any conspiracy theory territory, but curious if contrails have existed since airplanes.

The Wright Brothers first flight was in 1903…were contrails a thing and a concern since the early 20th century?

According to NASA:

When were contrails first observed?

Contrails were first noticed during high-altitude flights in the 1920’s. However, interest in contrails really blossomed during WWII when bombers could be sighted from miles away. In fact, numerous WWII veteran accounts tell of problems to aviation due to massive contrail formations. Planes could not find their targets, and sometimes collided with each other. In 1953, a scientist named H. Appleman published a chart that can be used to determine when a jet airplane would or would not produce a contrail.

You can make one with a turbo C-130 if you really work at it.
