Description
For four years, a new breed of men fought a new kind of war -in the skies over the Western Front, 1914-18. Their names became household words on both sides: Richtofen, Guynemer, Mannock, Rickenbacker.
Drawing on personal accounts of the fliers themselves, Alan Clark tells their life-and-death saga – the dogfights and dawn patrols, the twists of character that made dedicated killers of them.
The more than 100 photographs and drawings bring these legendary men and their historic planes vividly alive once more.
