This book profiles a wide variety of British, French, German,
Austro-Hungarian and American aircraft, ranging from frontline
stalwarts like the RE 8 and AR 1 to the swift Salmson 2A2 and the
compact, fighter-like Halberstadt CL II.
Oft-overshadowed by the fighters that either protected or
threatened them, two-seater reconnaissance aircraft performed the
oldest and most strategically vital aerial task of World War 1 - a
task that required them to return with the intelligence they
gathered at all costs. Bomber sorties were equally important and
dangerous, and the very nature of both types of mission required
going in harm's way. A surprising number of British, French and
German two-seater teams managed to attain or exceed the five
victories needed to achieve the acedom popularly associated with
their single-seat nemeses, and in this book they receive their
long-overdue recognition. Many high-scoring single-seat fighter
aces also began their careers in two-seaters, particularly in the
early stages of the conflict, and their exploits as either pilots
or observers are detailed here too.
