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.
