"Two American pilots above the Western Front Accounts of the lives of the young men who flew and fought as pilots during the First World War—the first war of the air—are comparatively few in number. All are, of course, interesting and essential for preserving the historical record of these pioneering combat pilots. The rate of mortality among these brave young men was high and, indeed, the two accounts here both concern American pilots who were killed. Walcott joined the French air service and was assigned to Escadrille Spad 84 and was shot down in December of 1917 having gained one victory. Briggs Kilburn Adams' book is comprised of letters describing his experiences on the Western Front. He enlisted as a volunteer with the American Ambulance Service in France before transferring to the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. He was attached to No. 18 Squadron R. F. C and was killed in March 1918. Each of these accounts is short and this special Leonaur book brings them together in a single, good value edition that allows modern readers to own these vital works of aviation history. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands" Here link Also Poilus of the Skies "Two novels of the pilot Chignole during the Great War French author Marcel Nadaud was well regarded for his novels and stories, several of which were filmed. As France was the first nation to employ fighter-pilots in its air force, he was also one of the earliest to write novels about conflict in the skies. A number of Nadaud's novels were translated into English, and this present Leonaur volume offers those with an interest in the early days of air warfare an opportunity to read two of his charming and whimsical tales about Chignole—his central character—and his comrades life in the French air force as they fought the Hun in the skies over France during the First World War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands."
