Hallion calls, \"A welcome and long overdue addition to the literature of military aviation.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The whole subject of the first air war is like some imperfectly explored country: there are areas that have been crisscrossed by several generations of historians; there are regions where only writers of dissertations and abstruse monographs have ventured, and others yet that remain \u003ci\u003eterra incognita\u003c\/i\u003e,\" historian Lee Kennett tells his readers. There are very few books that explore military avition and its history to the fullest extent as Kennett has done in \u003ci\u003eFirst Air War\u003c\/i\u003e. The purpose of this book is to act as a complete overview on topics and histories that have previously gone unexplored. He tells of World War I fliers and their experiences \"on all fronts and skillfully places them in proper context\" (Edward M. Coffman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Old Army\u003c\/i\u003e). In considerate detail, Kennett tells the full story on how a few planes became the armies of the sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Kennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684871203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684871202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.05h x 6.06w x 0.78d","brand":"Lee Kennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981093568767,"sku":"9780684871202","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6574a0fb-fb77-4018-a57a-4947ff08c0a1.jpg?v=1683253620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-air-war-lee-kennett-9780684871202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
