The war in the air the British flyers knew
This collection of anecdotes, accounts and reports of the
activities of the R. F. C. during the First World War on the
Western Front was originally published under the title, Thrilling
Deeds of British Airmen by Eric Wood. The original title, perhaps,
gives the potential reader some indication as to the tone of this
book since it was written during the conflict itself and
predictably is jingoistic in its style. So, given the partiality of
the author, readers should not look to this work for 'a
well-rounded view.' Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that
there is a paucity of material available on warfare in the air
during this period and for many readers interested in the subject
all works which add new information are welcome. In that Woods'
book does not disappoint, he recounts a number of incidents
concerning strafing raids, the bombing of enemy targets, attacks on
Zeppelins, the activities of the Coastal Patrol and the aerial
attacks on shipping, which do not necessarily appear elsewhere in
print. Woods also provides accounts of notable aviators including
Warneford, V. C. This pot-pourri of vignettes of British airmen
during the first aerial war offers much of interest and is
recommended for reading enjoyment.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
