Richardson shows the reader a complete picture of the recruitment, training, staff work, and all the duties a would-be combat pilot had to face helping the novice American Air Service establish itself in war-torn France. He sometimes left out of his letters home the discussions of the dangers he faced from his own equipment and training procedures, but he faithfully included those perils in his diaries. The editors have combined his insights with thorough archival research to provide an unforgettable reading experience. Their combination of the technological, human, military, and social aspects of the American Air Service in France will be consulted for years by all who want to learn more about the origins of the age of aerial warfare.
