Battles

The
first
aircraft
to
appear
over
the
Western
Front
in
1
91.4
were
objects
more
of
curiosity
than
of
fear
to
those
below.
Looking
more
like
sophisticated
kites
than
a
deadly
new
weapon,
they
showed
little
sign
of
the
dominant
role
they
would
play
in
the
future.
Indeed,
compared
with
thf
devastation
caused
by
bombing
raids
less
than
30
years
later,
the
threat
they
posed
was
slight.
Yet
it
was
during
World
War
that
the
I
concept
of
strategic
bombing,
which
lay
behind
the
fire-
bombing
of
German
and
Japanese
cities
in
World
War
II,
and
more
recently
the
bombing
of
Cambodia
and
Viet
Nam,
was
first
established.
The
story
of
the
first
warplanes
in
itself,
is
a
fascinating
one
but
perhaps
its
real
importance
lies in
the
patterns
it
established
for
the
future.
In
this
book
we
tell
that
;tory—
of
the
planes
:hemselves,
and,
in
their
own
/vords,
of
the
pilots
who
flew
hem.
The
expert
descriptions
}f
the
development
of
the
warplane,
and
the
personal
jccounts
of
the
men
who
ought
in
them,
combine
with
he
hundreds
of
photographs
nd drawings
to
make
this
a
niquely
readable
and
nformative
book.
