Included here are the works of serious artists, propagandists, illustrators and humorists. The result is a stunning graphic record, which produces a powerful record of life and death in the skies above the trenches during the Great War, as reported to contemporary audiences at a time when the events of the Great War were still unfolding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring the Great War artists and illustrators produced a highly accurate visual record of the fleeting moments the bulky cameras couldn't reproduce. These works form a body of war reportage that are as valid as the written word. Today, the work of the combat illustrators and the official war artists from the Great War era is overlooked by historians in favor of photographs, but these illustrations are nonetheless important as they provide a contemporary record of hand-to-hand fighting, trench raids, aerial dogfights, sea battles, desperate last stands, night actions and cavalry charges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Carruthers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473837855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473837850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword Aviation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Bob Carruthers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436665909503,"sku":"9781473837850","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bdc2e7d-561f-4077-852b-381b94af7883.jpg?v=1777157254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-in-the-air-1914-1916-bob-carruthers-9781473837850","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
