Book Title: Aces High: War in the Air Over the Western Front, 1914-18 (Cassell military classics)
Author: Alan Clark
ISBN: 030435225X
Category: History
Format: Paperback and Hardback
Summary: Aces High is a very readable introduction to the First World War in the air, concentrated on the Western Front.
This is an "old" book, first published in 1973, so dont expect any great revelations, and it repeats many "facts" which more recent research would refute. Dont let that put you off. Clark is (or rather was) a superb teller of stories, and that in essence is what this book does, tells the story of the First World War in the air. If you are looking for a good primer history, easy to read but insightful, you really would have to look a long way to find better.
