During the First World War, Italy was on the side of their British
Allies and their fight was against the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
bordering on Austria. In October 1917, the Austro-Hungarians
managed to push the Italians back during the battle of Caporetto.
With the danger signs obvious, both Britain and France sent
reinforcements. Britain s Royal Flying Corps sent three squadrons
of Sopwith Camel fighters, plus one RE8 reconnaissance squadron,
and these Camel squadrons fought gallantly over the plains and
mountainous regions of north-east Italy, sharing the air battle
with aircraft of the Italian Air Force. Despite the difference in
landscape between France and Italy, the Camel pilots employed the
same air-fighting tactics and assisted in ground support missions
that proved just as destructive in Italy as they had in France.
Accompanied by a large selection of photographs of the men and the
machines that saw action in this conflict, this book is a welcome
addition to Pen and Sword s Images of War series.
