| The Ace | Total Clicks: 466 | Report Broken Link | by Jack D. Hunter Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: Blue River Press (October 2008) Language: English ISBN-10: 0979924065 ISBN-13: 978-0979924064
In THE ACE, four Americans - a 20-year-old social outcast, a breezily iconoclastic Army officer, a ruthless US senator, and a guilt-ridden heiress - are inexorably drawn together in their struggles to deal with America's chaotic involvement in World War I. Their interwoven destinies lead from poverty-stricken slums through the opulence of 1917-1918 Washington, London, and Paris, and, climactically, into the Western Front's vicious aerial combat, which establishes the matrix for all air warfare to come. THE ACE is, above all, an intricate portrayal of indomitable love belabored by human frailties and the cruel pressures of war.

| An Ace Minus One | Total Clicks: 1294 | Report Broken Link | by Timothy M. Morrisroe Paperback: 618 pages Publisher: iUniverse, Inc. (August 22, 2006) Language: English ISBN: 0595391354
A young man fleeing his past finds himself driving an ambulance on the wesern front just as the inferno of Verdun erupts around him. Ever resilient, he transitions to flying scouts for a French escadrille. Jousting with German aces in flimsy wood and canvas aeroplanes is hard enough without having to keep up with the Bacchanalian excesses of his mates. Set over the battlefields of Europe, an Ace Minus One is authentic in its descriptions of early aviation and the colorful characters who made this period one of the most interesting in history.
