Enthusiasts of the subject and period will find much here to interest them as the author takes us aloft with the Ariel V. C’s, into No Man’s Land, on bombing raids, through mid-air pistol duels, up with the kite-balloons, with the sea-planes over the cold and inhospitable ocean and many other fascinating accounts of the earliest days of air combat and the brave, individualistic aviators who fought it.
