It is important to note that âÇÖthe futureâÇÖ in this book is covered in one chapter and concerns the immediate future from the writerâÇÖs perspective. The main text concerns itself with the introduction of the âÇÖairâÇÖ as a constituent part of the battlefield and how the warring powers came to terms with it. Those early experiments are considered as is the initial role of aircraft in their reconnaissance role including intelligence gathering utilising aerial photography. Wireless and the direction of artillery fire is also described. Strategy and tactics as regarded bombing raids and aerial combat are considered including dealing with balloons and airships. This Leonaur edition is enhanced by an extract from E. W Walters book, âÇÖHeroic Airmen and their ExploitsâÇÖ, which offers further insightful information on the fight for the skies from other sources.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles, each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
