Bill Lambert: World War I Flying Ace is a detailed scholarly
biography of a World War I pilot who ""lived at the edge of
greatness, but could never get there."" From late March to
mid-August 1918, William C. Lambert from Ironton, Ohio, flew as a
fighter pilot for the R.A.F. in World War I. A surprising number of
Americans went to Canada and joined the British flying services.
Unfortunately, for the most part, their life stories have never
been told. Several of them went on to have distinguished records.
Unbeknownst to anyone, when Lambert left the war his twenty-two
victories were the largest total among any American pilot in the
war. By the Armistice, Lambert's total would be surpassed by Eddie
Rickenbacker, the former race car driver from Columbus, Ohio, with
twenty-six victories. Lambert survived the war and lived into his
eighties; however, until late in life, he was unwilling to take
advantage of his war record to achieve public acclaim. This book is
an examination of the entire life of a distinct individual who took
part in a war that destroyed individuality and served to define him
for the rest of his life.
