O knihe

A collection of first-hand accounts and reports of the air in the war
Compared to accounts of conflict on land and sea, the library of accounts of the war in the air during the First World War is quite small. Many of the books written about the subject (which holds an abiding fascination for students of the earliest period of aviation and aerial combat) are published by Leonaur, including those written by the airmen themselves. This book is quite different. Its contents have been drawn from the many periodicals and part works which were published during the Great War for an eager domestic audience. This unique book contains numerous first-hand reports written by the aviators themselves, as well as those written by journalists who wrote about the war in the air. Many if not all of these have never appeared in book form before. Taken from French, German and British sources, these accounts cover many interesting aspects of the battle in the clouds. Readers will discover what the air war like from the perspective of a Zeppelin crew member, accounts of airmen above the Desert Campaign, of the bomber raids, sea-plane exploits, the German raiders over Paris and London, a view of the aerial attack on Ravenna and much more of interest on warfare in the early days of military aviation. Illustrated.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
