A Great Book on World War I Airwar and Knights of the Air

This is an amazing book on Air wars, pilots, The Red Baron, World War I, and all that. with great pictures of air crafts, Uniforms, and medals. but my favorite is the art in the book which is the Turkish air battles over the middle east and Lawrence of Arabia. Great Art, I wish I could put it on my wall. This book talks about the best events in the Great War, and shows profiles on the heroes of the war, which would never be forgotten.

Could you find anyting better? NO WAY!

An excellent account of the first air war, Knights of The Air brings an intimate understanding of the intrepid airmen, their classic dirigibles and, the honorable art of dog fighting. Beautiful illustrations and powerful photographs make this book even more memorable. A month by month account, description of the momentum shifts and technological advances allow for a factual understanding and makes this book perfect for reference material and gratuitous pleasure reading.
