Everyone,
I'm writing a chronological history of WW1 aviation operations. Target size is 300k words plus. It is similar in style/content to Eric Hammel's WW2 air chronologies.
The content is an attempt to go past the nitty-gritty compilations of individual combats and record the evolution of aviation warfare of the period.
The content includes all fronts and is day-by-day. I'm including major decisions, the major land and naval battles, development/deployment of aircraft, development of tactics and unusual or consequential events. There is not a heavy emphasis upon individual pilots, but enough to relate their actions to the overall war.
Here's where I could use some help:
1) Can anyone recommend sources for operational histories of the Russian, Bulgaria, French and Turkish Air Services, preferably in English?
2) A lot of the histories of Zeppelin/airship use are very anecdotal and a little bit cartoonish. Can someone recommend a rigorous, and well-respected source?
Thanks,
Chris
