About this title

About the Author:

Despite a very active professional career as an inventor, entrepreneur, and business executive, Lance Bronnenkant has always maintained his interest in aviation – an interest rooted in the fact that his father was a WWII Army Air Corps test pilot who flew most of America’s fighter planes, including its first jet, the Bell P-59 Airacomet. In recent years, Lance has compiled an extensive collection of original artifacts and memorabilia associated with WWI German aviation. Lance is Vice President of the League of WWI Aviation Historians and managing editor of its quarterly WWI aviation journal, Over The Front. Along with several articles, Lance has written the following books on WWI aviation: The Imperial German Eagles in World War I: Their Postcards and Pictures, Vol.1 The Imperial German Eagles in World War I: Their Postcards and Pictures, Vol.2 The Imperial German Eagles in World War I: Their Postcards and Pictures, Vol.3 The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.1–Boelcke, Immelmann The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.2–Buddecke, Wintgens, Mulzer The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.3–Parschau, Höhndorf, Althaus, Frankl The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.4–Berthold, Leffers, Dossenbach, Berr The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.5–Manfred von Richthofen The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.6–Hoeppner, Thomsen, Voss The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.7–Bernert, Schaefer, Wolff The Blue Max Airmen: German Airmen Awarded the Pour le Mérite, Vol.8–Gontermann, Lothar von Richthofen
