    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.

    Just picked this book up as a prize at Enfilade 2013, donated by Rick57 (Thanks!). Great book, and the start of my new collection of WWI books. Thanks for the review, Baldrick62, as I was putting together one of my own.

    Not a bad overview of the air war. Good pics throughout, not a deep read but enjoyable.
