About this eBook
Includes Aerial Warfare During World War I Illustrations Pack with 115 maps, plans, and photos.
“There is no bitter snarl nor self-pity in this classic novel about the air war of 1914-1918, based very largely on the author’s experiences. Combat, loneliness, fatigue, fear, comradeship, women, excitement — all are built into a vigorous and authentic structure by one of the most valiant pilots of the then Royal Flying Corps.
