Hallion calls, \"A welcome and long overdue addition to the literature of military aviation.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The whole subject of the first air war is like some imperfectly explored country: there are areas that have been crisscrossed by several generations of historians; there are regions where only writers of dissertations and abstruse monographs have ventured, and others yet that remain \u003ci\u003eterra incognita\u003c\/i\u003e,\" historian Lee Kennett tells his readers. There are very few books that explore military avition and its history to the fullest extent as Kennett has done in \u003ci\u003eFirst Air War\u003c\/i\u003e. The purpose of this book is to act as a complete overview on topics and histories that have previously gone unexplored. He tells of World War I fliers and their experiences \"on all fronts and skillfully places them in proper context\" (Edward M. Coffman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Old Army\u003c\/i\u003e). In considerate detail, Kennett tells the full story on how a few planes became the armies of the sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLee B.
