Description
Book illustrated with B&W pictures
They were forbidden to carry parachutes; they lived in dread of being shot down in flames; their life expectancy was measured in days...
But these were the flyers who became legends in their own life-times - Albert Ball, Manfred von Richthofen, Mick Mannock, Rene Fonck, Georges Guynemer.
Aces High is the vivid chronicle of aerial warfare over the Western Front during five turbulent years of World War One.
