From Library Journal
The much-covered field of World War I in the air gains an extensively researched re-evaluation in this work by Kennett, research professor at the University of Georgia and author of seven books, including G.I.: The American Soldier in World War II (Warner, 1989). Choosing not to dwell on the desperate air-to-air combats of a few American, British, and German aces--exciting though they were, their importance was overemphasized by the media of the day and subsequent historians--he views the war in the air as a whole, reminding us that the primary purpose of air power in World War I was reconnaissance and intelligence. He provides fresh information and thoughts in many areas, including valuable chapters on the recruitment, training, and daily lives of the participants. Students of this period's air warfare should read Kennett's book first, then go on to more detailed works. Essential for all World War I collections.
