Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. pp: 244. A history of one of the 40 or so American flying squadrons active during the last two years of The First World War. Much of the text is a detailed, in some cases day-by-day, history of the American aerial combat unit. At the time, the American aerial forces were called the United States Army Air Services. There are hundreds of vintage photos throughout the text. The appendices contain eight colour plates showing the markings of the American aircraft. There is also a list of the flying officers, the awards earned by members, a bibliography, and index. This is a very good, or better, copy in a very good dust jacket with sunning on the spine. The high quality paper used gives the book some extra weight. Seller Inventory # 009113
