Wonderful Book
When I saw the Indian Head, I knew this was the Lafayette Escadrille. There are very good photos inside.

Having read I Flew With the Lafayette Escadrille (highly recommended), I sought out more information on that classic's author, Edwin (Ted) Parsons. This slim little seventy page volume is an expanded version of a 1978 Aviation Quarterly article, and readers shouldn't expect much more than a magazine level summary of Parson's otherwise interesting life. The hyperbolic back cover blurb promises that the booklet "makes the most colorful segment of World War I come alive", based on the author's "unlimited access to Ted Parsons' personal papers and memorabilia." In reality little more than a, to be fair, very well fleshed-out chronology, it makes an interesting magazine article. Expanded into a booklet, the reader is left regretting that the material was not used to produce a biography worthy of this great adventurer.
