1984 "Aces And Aircraft Of World War I" Harcover Edition Book
I have for sale the out-of-print, hardcover edition book "Aces And Aircraft
Of World War I" by Christopher Campbell (1984). The edition contains 144
pages including full-color, and black and white photographs profiling World
War I aircraft and the pilots who flew them.
Front Jacket Excerpt:
"When the armies of Europe blundered into war in August 1914, there was
little real appreciation of the impact that the aeroplane would have on
warfaee. It was the advent in 1915 of the machine-gun armed fighter
aircraft that introduced the revolutionary aspect to machine warfare-the
struggle for air superiority. With it appeared a new breed of fighting man,
the figter pilot. They were to sweep the skies of the reconnaissance
machines, but on their way they would have to fight each other. The
fascinating story of air forces' uniforms, flying clothing, badges, and
medals is investigated in detail, illustrated by many full-colour artworks.
Photographs from archives all over the world form a rich background to this
comprehensive history of the men who struggled for air superiority in World
War I".
