Product Description

Product Description

IN the changed conditions of modern warfare airmen have become the eyes of the army. Starting from their bases, aviators wing their way over the enemy's lines and observe every passing thing that comes within their vision, so that generals, sitting at headquarters, know exactly to where enemy reinforcements have gone, how many trains of munitions have been sent to certain places, where batteries are placed, and a thousand things that the brains of an army must be cognizant of. Trenches dug overnight are noted the next morning and inscribed upon the large-scale maps which are used as bases for the plans of operations. In fact, little that happens escapes notice—if the flying corps of an army has won command of the air.

[Kindle Formatted]

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating first hand accounts 16 Mar 2013

I searched for WWI flying stories and got a fantastic collection in this book. I read it and re-read it. The first hand stories are written in such detail and from the heart and mind of the men doing the flying and the dying. Many of the stories are from men who died in battle- some the very day they wrote their last letters. You can feel their fatigue, sadness, fear, dispair sometimes, and their brave "chin up" attitude no matter how desperate they are. this is one of the very best books you will ever read about WW1 flying. I would love to read teh same type from the French and the German and American flyers. But, the Brits have such a flair for words- "Jolly well...." and, "Good heavens!" and "Served the blighter right..." phrases just make the British mind set jump right off the pages.
