British Single-Seater Fighter Squadrons on the Western Front in World War I | Total Clicks: 4518 | Report Broken Link | by Alex Revell Hardcover: 400 pages Publisher: Schiffer Pub Ltd (July 2006) Language: English ISBN: 0764324209 This is the story of the single-seater fighter operations over the Western Front flown by the fighter pilots of Great Britain and her Commonwealth. Along with their opposite numbers from Germany and her allies, these pilots of the Royal Flying Corps, the Royal Naval Air Service and later, the Royal Air Force, were the world's first fighter pilots. The Great War of 1914-1918 saw the advent of a new type of warfare. For the first time in history the aeroplane was to play an important and vital role in the pursuit of war. The stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front, where trenches stretched from the coast of Belgium to the borders of Switzerland, saw aeroplane reconnaissance as the only way to observe the activities of the opposing side, a task previously carried out by cavalry. It was imperative that these two-seater observation/reconnaissance aeroplanes were prevented in carrying out their vitally important tasks and destroyed – in effect to deny the enemy his 'eyes'. Fast 'fighter' aeroplanes were used to carry out this task, which led to each side attempting to protect their reconnaissance aeroplanes with fighter aeroplanes of their own. It was the beginning of a new type of warfare – aerial combat. Rate This Title - choose --12345678910

A Few of the First | Total Clicks: 4687 | Report Broken Link | The Story of the Royal Flying Corps & the Royal Naval Air Service in the First World War by Bruce Lewis Hardcover: 256 pages Publisher: Pen and Sword (December, 2004) Language: English ISBN: 0850525098 A Few Of The First is a fascinating collection of thirteen first-hand accounts of flying in the RFC and RNAS during the First World War. A Few Of The First presents the experiences of early aviators, painting a broader picture than just showcasing dogfights on the Western Front as it shows how these survivors of WWI carried out their arduous duties under difficult (and at times horrendous) cricumstances. A Few Of The First is a tribute to thouse young men who, encased in wood, cloth and wire, and propelled by unreliable engings, flew in their "Harry Tates", their Vickers "Gunbuses", and their "Bloody Pralysers", battling time after time against almost impossible odds. Simply stated, no World War I military library can be considered complete without the addition of A Few Of The First. Rate This Title - choose --12345678910
