Richthofen Jagdstaffel Ahead Hard Back Book

RFC Fighter Pilots Out-Performed and Out-Gunned. In early 1917 the war in the air intensified on the Western Front. Richthofen's deadly Jagdstaffel 11 was flying vastly superior Albatros and Halberstadt aircraft, with synchronized machine guns. Into the fray came 40 Squadron RFC with its problematic FE8s. Despite the odds, the bravery and courage of men like Lionel Blaxland, Mick Mannock and their fellow pilots ensured the Germans did not have it all their own way. A unique piece of work highlighting the men and wide range of aircraft - a must have for all students and historians of WWI. Amply illustrated with 200 color and b/w images and photos. McManus; 192 pages."
