About this title

Book Description:

Osprey has helped make World War 1 aviation fashionable and, more importantly, accessible to a new breed of aircraft book buyers who for many years thought that the subject began and ended with the 'Red Baron' and his 'Flying Circus'. This book is another important addition to Osprey's ever expanding library of Great War aviation literature.

About the Author:

Greg VanWyngarden has had a lifelong interest in World War 1 aviation and has been particularly active in researching the colours and markings of German fighter aircraft. He has written many books for Osprey and has co-authored three previous titles with Norman Franks: Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1 and Fokker D VII Aces of World War 1, Volume 1 and Volume 2. He was the sole author of: Aviation Elite Units 16 'Richthofen's Circus', Elite Units 19 Jagdgeschwader Nr II Geschwader 'Berthold', Elite Units 26 Jagdstaffel 2 'Boelcke' - Richthofen's Mentor, Elite Units 40 Jasta 18 The Red Noses, Pfalz Scout Aces of World War 1, Early German Aces of World War 1, and Albatros Aces of World War I, Part 2.

Harry Dempsey has been passionate about World War 1 aviation for over 30 years, having produced some of the most technically accurate colour artwork on the subject. He has illustrated nearly all of Osprey's WW 1 aviation titles to date.
