4.0 out of 5 starsShort accounts of American pilots who shot down five or more German aircraft in WWI
By Amazon Customer on August 18, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A short, shot gun approach that identifies and briefly describes key American pilots that shot down over five enemy planes and balloons during the Great War. The newspaper type account of the book does not do justice to the American aces like Eddie Rickenbacker. Perhaps it is the English perspective (writer) that provides "just the facts" approach. Much of the American contribution to World War I on the land, sea, and in the air is downplayed or ignored. Most British writers have not done justice to what the US really did, like supporting the exhausted Allies and making it possible for them to defeat the Germans and win the war. Even though the US entered the war late, it was our armies, our merchant marine and navy forces, and our airpower that was responsible for defeating the Germans.

4.0 out of 5 starsShort and informative
By CD Park on September 10, 2005
Format: Paperback
American Aces of World War I, is a brief but informative review of the great American Fliers of WWI. Anyone interested in WWI will find it very useful. If you are unfamiliar, as I was with WWI flying aces, this book will bring you up to speed. It is also an excellent companion while reading the new Jeff Shaara book, To the Last Man.

5.0 out of 5 starsREQUIRED WW1 AVIATION REFERENCE!
By P. A. Panozzo on June 29, 2008
Format: Paperback
I have purchased, read,(and reviewed!!) many of these excellent volumes by Osprey Publishing. They are concise, handy reference guides. Their size and cost are extremely appealing to one short on funds and storage!! This volume is dedicated to the principal American Aces of World War One. It provides biographical information on the pilot, noteworthy exploits achieved, and what their aircraft looked like. The text contains first person accounts of the exploits, beautiful color renditions of the aircraft, and often, scale plans of the aircraft. Any aviation enthusiast of World War One would want this volume. There are numerous other volumes by Osprey that you may wish to consider. For the American perspective I particularly recommend these: SPAD XII/XIII Aces of World War 1 (Aircraft of the Aces) Balloon-Busting Aces of World War 1 (Aircraft of the Aces) Nieuport Aces of World War I (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No 33) and SPA124 Lafayette Escadrille: American Volunteer Airmen in World War 1 (Aviation Elite Units). You can click on these links and you can check out my other reviews on other Osprey titles!
