Poilus of the Skies: Two Novels of the French Air Force During the First World War-The Flying Poilu & Birds of a Feather (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781782822561)

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.
