Two novels of the pilot Chignole during the Great War
French author Marcel Nadaud was well regarded for his novels and
stories, several of which were filmed. As France was the first
nation to employ fighter-pilots in its air force, he was also one
of the earliest to write novels about conflict in the skies. A
number of Nadaud's novels were translated into English, and this
present Leonaur volume offers those with an interest in the early
days of air warfare an opportunity to read two of his charming and
whimsical tales about Chignole-his central character-and his
comrades life in the French air force as they fought the Hun in the
skies over France during the First World War.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
