In this latest addition to the Airfield and Airmen Series, Mike O'Connor describes the dramatic air actions that took place along the Belgian and North France coastline during The Great War. In addition to the Royal Fighting Corps and RAF aspect this volume covers the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and Belgian Air Service (AMB) as well as the German Naval Air Service.
I've heaped praise on these books before, and justly so for not only do they cover WWII air operations in an original and refreshing way, the author writes with authority and so these guides deserve pole position on your bookshelves - not to mention the glove box of your car when you follow in Mike's footsteps. Unreservedly recommended.

I have championed this series before as the perfect aeronautical travelling companion for journeys across to France from the UK, and this new addition does nothing to diminish my enthusiasm for them.
