Allied Aviation of World War I, Osprey

ALLIED AVIATION OF WORLD WAR I: A Pictorial History of Allied Aviators and Aircraft of the Great War.

In this companion volume to GERMAN and AUSTRIAN AVIATION of WORLD WAR 1 , Hugh Cowin unearths some real gems from his photographic collection, and at the same time he details every aircraft type that saw action in WWI. As a reference title it is second to none; as a remarkable story of courage and technical innovation it makes a riveting narrative. British fighter ace Captain Albert Ball and the US's pilot/designer Chance M. Vought stand alongside lesser-known but equally fascinating characters such as the Russian Navy aviator Major Alexander de Seversky.

By turns anecdotal and authoritative, Cowin provides a truly comprehensive account of the Allied aviation of World War 1.
