Overview

""The text is not designed for those merely curious about military aviation, nor is it in any sense a treatise on aeronautical engineering. The entire book has been written with the idea of possible usefulness to student aviators who, rising to a military emergency, have to prepare in the shortest possible time."" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
