an Account of the French War in the Air During the First World War
Omschrijving
At war with the Escadrilles of France
Henry Farré was an observer with French bombers during the Great War and was thus in a position to have a clear understanding of the subject of his writings. This fascinating book is partly comprised of Farré's own experiences and his view-combined with contributions from his comrades in arms-of the French effort for the war in the air. Within its pages we share the experiences of the French Aces and join the bombers on raids in daylight and night-time. There are interesting observations and anecdotes of aerial photography flights, the bombing of enemy held cities and harbours and the work of the aviators who operated far out to sea to torpedo German submarines. This is a vital book for every student of the early air forces in combat.
