Hi Romani,

The "Airfields & Airmen" titles, part of the Battleground Europe series, are very good indeed. They are all written by Mike O'Connor and are very well researched. They present a LOT more than just photos and directions to old airfields. The books retell the stories of many air combats and actions, and then show how you can visit the site of an associated airfield or gravesite. There is a great deal to learn about aerial actions of WWI in these books, often containing pilot's first-hand recollections you won't find anywhere else. Also, they always have lots of contemporary (1914-18) photos of airmen and aircraft that are quite rare. Highly recommended!
