[edit] BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ROYAL FLYING CORPS IN WORLD WAR ONE

This text tells the story of the most star-studded of fighter squadrons, the RFC, and its part in all the major battles of World War I, from Bloody April 1917, when the squadrons suffered enormous casualties, through Third Ypres and Passchendaele to the chaotic retreat from Ludendorff's offensive.

This very accessible and exciting book tells the story of the most star-studded of fighter squadrons, the RFC, and its part in all the major battles of WWI, from Bloody April 1917, when the squadrons suffered enormous casualties, through Third Ypres and Passchendaele to the chaotic retreat from Ludendorff's offensive. Drawing extensively from letters and diaries of the men who took part, Ralph Barker creates a bird's eye view of the battleground from the menacing skies above France and brings fresh off the page the exhilaration of combat, the debility of the 'shakes', the grit of observers and gunners, the strain of low-level flying, the bonding of pilot and ground mechanic, and the very real awareness of tragedy as brave young men gave their lives for victory.
