The Battleground Europe series has helped create a new audience for
the story of the desperate battles of World War I, But up to now
the series has largely been concerned with the ground war. Popular
demand has inspired the editors to create a new series of guides to
the air war 1914-1918. The first volume is devoted to the Ypres
Salient, the northernmost sector of the Western Front. Here the
Royal Flying Corps battled the German Imperial Air Service for
supremacy over the battlefield, while the Royal Naval Air Service
attempted to intercept Germany's Zeppelins and early long-range
bombers before they could reach the skies over London.
The airfields, battle and crash sites, and monuments associated
with the air war in the Ypres sector are covered with all the
then-and now detail expected by battleground Europe readers. The
dramatic text is backed up with numerous maps, photographs and an
extensive bibliography.
