5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best 1st person accounts of WWI aerial combat.,
By Al Lowe (alowe@enteract.com) (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winged Warfare: Hunting the Huns in the Air (Wings of War) (Hardcover)
This tells of the exploits of Billy Bishop. The highest scoring pilot of the British Empire, and of Canada in WWI. During his WWI career, he was credited with 72 confirmed victories. Winged Warfare tells his story from when he first shipped overseas to Europe, until August of 1917 when he was sent back first to London to receive the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Service Order, and the Military Cross, and then back to Canada on leave. The highlight of the book for me was when he describes his attack on a German aerodrome near Cambrai. This is the raid for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest military award. I just cannot recommend this book too much. It is a must have for everyone and and anyone interested in WWI aerial history.
