The Italian aces of World War One have gone down in history as the
irrefutable masters of the skies in the battle against their
Austro-Hungarian enemies. In this often forgotten theatre of
warfare these remarkable pilots gave the Italian forces an
undisputed air superiority and left an enduring legacy as
extraordinary men. Having interviewed the descendants of almost
every Italian ace from the Great War, Paolo Varriale uncovers these
fighters' incredible and sometimes tragic histories. Years of
painstaking research has culminated in this truly groundbreaking
study which brings to life the exploits of such famous aces as
Baracca, Ruffo and Piccio, and the lesser known Riva, Sabelli and
Nardini. Letters, diaries and unpublished photographs shed light on
previously unknown personal and unit insignia, exposing many myths
and making this a commanding addition to the aviation history of
World War One.
