Oh, and because they often command 20+ tons of flying beast, the aviators in Temeraire, let's say, don't really live by normal social rules (i.e. no one has to get married, and if there are babies they've got a place in the Air Corps one day instead of being ostracised for being illegitimate).
I will add, Jamie Bamber is exactly the person who came to my mind for the role of the series human protagonist, a blond ex-Navy captain who's very sweet and proper and ethical like a certain other Viper pilot we all know, but I'd so much rather see Lee and Kara in that story, it would fit them beautifully if we get our heads around the idea that they're flying dragons instead of Vipers.
