Product Description
Review
"Perhaps the most useful section is Chapter Five, a dispassionate evaluation of the British victory credit system and how it evolved during the war. The final chapter includes short bios of more than 50 notable pilots, with due attention to the Bishop-Mannock controversy. Nearly 100 photos are augmented by 36 color profiles depicting a dozen aircraft types, emphasizing SE-5s, SPADs, and Nieuports. The appendices are excellent, containing more information than many Osprey titles. Five stars." -Barrett Tillman, "Aerodrome"
Product Description
This volume traces the rapid development of the fighter plane in World War I, and the amazing exploits of the British and Empire aces who flew them. It covers the squadrons and their markings, as well as the birth of the Royal Air Force.
