About this ebook
“Takes a seemingly mundane subject as airfields and turns it into a fresh understanding of air combat on the Western Front . . . recommended highly.” —Over the Front
In this latest addition to the Airfields and Airmen Series, Mike O’Connor describes the dramatic air actions that took place along the Belgian and North France coastline during The Great War.
In addition to the Royal Fighting Corps and RAF aspect this volume covers the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and Belgian Air Service (AMB) as well as the German Naval Air Service.
“[This book] is well-illustrated with both recent and historic photos and exudes the author’s knowledge of, and delight in, his subject.” —Warships International
“I have championed this series before as the perfect aeronautical travelling companion for journeys across to France from the UK, and this new addition does nothing to diminish my enthusiasm for them.” —Aviation News
