Somme Success: Aerial Warfare on the Somme 1916

The experiences of the British army on the Somme in 1916 have become a legend of endurance and sacrifice, but little has been written in recent years on the air war above the battlefield. This detailed work draws on never-before published accounts recorded by the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive in London. The conflict between fighters turned into a war of its own, with new weapons, tactics, and aircraft constantly being developed to gain the upper hand.
