From Library Journal
This book gives quite a good look at how aerial combat has evolved since its earliest years. World Wars I and II, of course, are covered extensively, with information about the pilots and their tactics and equipment. Some of the topics included are the birth of fighter tactics and the "ace" system, the zeppelin problem, "Spitfire meets 109," etc. The information may be hard to find elsewhere, so aviation enthusiasts will enjoy this. Highly recommended for all aviation and military collections. History Book Club alternate. R.G. Schipf, Univ. of Montana Lib.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations (illustrator). First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Green cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 192 pages clean and tight. As soon as the first aeroplane proved its value in war it became a target - and the fighter pilot was born. Aircraft versus Aircraft tells the fascinating story of these brave and tenacious men and the aircraft in which they fought from the early dawn of rudimentary tactics to the sophisticated technology of the present day. Using superb diagrammatic paintings Norman Franks illustrates the often complex manoeuvres of air combat on which the survival of each pilot depended. And through the compelling stories of fighter aces such as Baron von Richthofen, Albert Ball, Saburo Sakai, `Sailor' Malan and Joseph McConnell whose skills and heroism have passed into legend, he recreates - for enthusiast and general reader alike - the dangerous and exciting world in which they lived and died.
