Description
This evocative montage of war in the air across all theatres, presented in This Evocative Montage of War in the Air, shows—wherever possible—the airman’s viewpoint.
It is not a strictly composed or academic history, nor does it attempt to glamorise the harsh reality of a bitter struggle. Instead, it reveals many of the human facets of war: the tragedies, the sacrifices, and, most often, the sheer routine of aerial combat conditions common to armed forces throughout the world.
The 200 photographs are supported by informative captions, while the expert commentary introducing each section sets the overall scene for the different campaign theatres.
The author’s deep knowledge of the subject, along with a genuine understanding of the airman’s environment, makes This Evocative Montage of War in the Air a compelling record of a global conflict.
The volume comprises 120 pages and includes 200 photographs.
