Over
the Battlefronts by Peter Kilduff |
|
Description:
The
full title of this book is ‘Over the Battlefronts
– Amazing Air Action of World War One’, which
takes the reader into the primitive air combat of the
1914 – 18 war with various dramatic accounts of battle.
The author tells of a Austro-Hungarian flying boat ace,
a 52 year old Italian poet and award winning pilot, German
flyers in a damaged Zeppelin, an American serving in the
RAF shooting down a Fokker fighter, a Balloonist bringing
down a Russian fighter with a rifle and various other
stories of the war which are more unusual to hear about.
The accounts are expertly told by a master story teller
who has no need to embellish the tales of daring-do.
