    Aces' Twilight: The Air War in the West, 1918
    Author:

    Category:
    History
    Format:
    Paperback
    Summary:
    Written in almost a 'popular history' style and published in 1988, this very readable 174pp book provides a chronological account of air operations on the Western Front during the final year of WWI. As you'd expect from a book of this size, it moves along at a fair clip, and is a great introduction for those without an historical background into the events of 1918. It makes small use of lengthy first-hand quotations, allowing the author to direct the pace, and finishes nicely with some speculation about the identity of a 'Red' pilot in the Russian Civil War (outside the stated scope of the book's subject, but still a good theatrical touch).

    Picked this up on my Kindle for next to nothing and it was a few pence well spent I thought.
    Ties in events on the ground with actions in the air in the last year of the war that is presented in an easy to read style I'm sure most would enjoy.
