Editorial Reviews

takes a seemingly mundane subject as airfields and turns it into a fresh understanding of air combat on the Western Front... newly prepared maps are excellent and are augmented by a fine array of WWI era black and white photos as well as recent views of airfields and surrounding areas Noted in the book... recommended highly
