World War One took place just after the birth of powered flight,
when aerial technology was still in its infancy. At the outbreak of
war, the military potential of this novelty invention was not fully
recognised until commanders began to use the aeroplane to see what
the enemy was planning on the other side of the hill. During the
course of the war, the role of the aeroplane evolved from a stable,
lumbering observation platform to a more agile fighter, capable of
shooting down another aircraft. In a bid to out-do the enemy, the
ongoing arms race saw rapid developments in aeroplane technology,
which led to an incredible array of ever-advancing aircraft seeing
service during this time. This book features a potted history of
the British aircraft that were involved in World War One. It
includes the frontline fighters, bombers and reconnaissance
aircraft that contributed to the iconic events between 1914 and
1918. The story is supported by high-quality images of surviving,
reproduction, replica and restored aircraft.
