Winged warfare is the first of an authentic and exciting series of true air-combat classics, bringing back the great days of man-to-man aerial battles as told by the famous aces themselves. Credited with seventy-two victories, Canadian Ace William Bishop tells his own story of what it was like. He vividly recreates those early days--both comic and tragic--when deadly "airborne jalopy" was getting its trial run. Bishop describes the tiny Nieuport Scout, armed with a single Lewis gun, in which he dodged the anti-aircraft batteries and fought the scarlet tri-winged Fokkers of Baron von Richthofen's squadron. His account of the joys and terrors of daily "dogfighting" is continuously exciting. With informative supplementary material and many aircraft specifications, Winged Warfare is a must for every aviation and war-adventure fan.--Cover… (más)
