Mass Market. Zustand: Very Good. Second Printing. 396 Pages. Store stamps on front and back endpapers and some front cover creases. This is the Second Printing dated April 1983. This book is a flesh and blood history of the pilots and planes of World War 1. A vivid re-creation of an era, of a time when men became legends, and everyone thought that God was on their side. World War I began as a great and glorious game of nations, so carefully planned on charts and maps, so eagerly anticipated by leaders and soldiers on both sides.
