Notes
This book was first published in 2007 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. By 1918 the First World War "Aces" had become legendary. They had developed a reputation, but by 1918 the nature of the war was changing. Thousands of aircraft were in operation and numbers began to be more relevant. Ground-strafing and bombing became more important. The author describes these developments using the voices of the main actors. He also relates the air war to the fighting on the ground and shows how developments in bombing pointed the way to wars of the future.
