Expertly compiled and co-written by World War I history experts Norman Franks and Hal Giblin, Under The Guns Of The Kaiser's Aces: Bohme, Muller, Von Tutschek And Wolff - The Complete Record Of Their Victories And Victims, is an exhaustive profile of four distinguished German aces of World War One, which informatively examines their personal and professional lives, including the aerial combat deeds that earned them the "Blue Max" (Germany's highest award for bravery in action). Under The Guns Of The Kaiser's Aces also includes the lives of the Allied airmen these German Aces fought and downed, and as well as their own deaths incurred by battling against the Royal Flying Corps. Black-and-white photographs, a wealth of details, painstaking research, and revealing insights from two true experts on the WWI and WW II air wars mark Under The Guns Of The Kaiser's Aces As a fascinating read for military aviation enthusiasts, as well as a major and significant contribution for World War I Military History reference collections.

Enjoyed the brief bio's of the aces, the description of actions and whether or how well each plane shot down can be confirmed, and the bio's of the enemy pilots and observers.

Overall, another good one in a good series. The series probably ended here though due to reaching pilots whose names are more obscure to general public.

A similar set for British aces would be fantastic to see.
