Description
A compelling and fascinating account of aerial combat in World War I reveals the terrible risks run by those who fought and died in the world's first air war. Aircraft were pressed into service just over ten years after the first powered flight, with devastating consequences. The romantic image of gallant 'aces' is far from accurate, as the reality of air warfare was marked by flimsy aircraft, unprotected pilots with no parachutes, and the tragic loss of young lives. James Hamilton-Paterson's book sheds light on this often-overlooked aspect of history, showing how four years of fighting in the air would change the nature of warfare forever. With clear-eyed history, myth-busting and gripping stories, Marked for Death is a powerful exploration of one of the most pivotal moments in military aviation.
