In this installment of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel
series, take to the skies with the flying aces of World War
I“Yippee! We’re going back to World War One!” said nobody
ever—except maybe the Hangman. When the Great War began in 1914,
America had plans to stay out of it. But some young men were so
eager to fight, they joined the French foreign legion. From deep in
the mud and blood of the Western Front, these young volunteers
looked to the sky and saw the future—the airplane. The first
American pilots to fight in World War One flew for the French
military. France created a squadron of volunteer Americans called
the Lafayette Escadrille (named after the great Marquis de
Lafayette). This book is about that volunteer squadron. How they
got into the French military. How they learned to fly. How they
fought—and died. And how these American pilots would go down in
history with other legendary flying aces, like the Red Baron and
his Flying Circus. Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales are graphic
novels that tell the thrilling, shocking, gruesome, and TRUE
stories of American history. Read them all—if you dare!
