Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Accounts from the fliers of the First World WarThe author of this book was a prolific writer on the subject of early aviation. As most students of the subject know, only eight years had passed since the Wright brothers had taken to the air before Italy used aircraft in warfare in Libya and less than a further three years before the great nations of Europe began fighting the conflict which became known as the Great War. So, inevitably, Middleton's focus was drawn to activities of the RFC, RAF and RNAS as its airmen fought their German and Turkish counterparts in the skies over the continent and the wider world. The principal book in this Leonaur edition was first published in 1918 and is essentially a collection of word 'sketches' describing the routines, adventures and battles of allied airmen during the war. Whilst it is decidedly partisan in its perspectives, Middleton was able to rely of first-hand experiences and access to recent records, so his work has become part of the invaluable record of that short lived period of aerial warfare fought in simple craft of timber, canvas and wire. The nineteen 'sketches' in the principal book are supported in this Leonaur edition by an extract from E. W Walters book, 'Heroic Airmen and their Exploits', which offers a host of other engaging reports 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.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The dawn of combat in the airToday everyone is so familiar with aircraft, air travel and the fact that virtually every nation's defence force includes an aerial component, so it is easy to forget that there are many people still alive whose parents were born before any practical form of working aircraft. The Wright Brothers had achieved sustained heavier than air flight in 1903-just over 100 years ago; that was only eleven years before the outbreak of the First World War, the first war in which combat took to the the skies. During the four years of the conflict the potential for aircraft in all their various forms and in all their viable tactical roles was pursued and exploited as much as the technology of the time would allow. This change in the nature of warfare (which added the first new dimension to conflict in millennia) was seen as incredible to many at the time. Certainly the impetus given to the development of powered flight by the First World War cannot be overestimated. A number of books were written during those early days of air warfare, though their number remains comparatively few, some were written by aviators themselves and some were general or unit histories. Others gathered incidents, experiences and anecdotes into anthologies which enabled an eager readership to understand what combat in the skies actually involved. This is one of those books. It covers pilot training and includes, among other things, accounts of aerial warfare from the allied perspective including night flights, bombing, Zeppelin hunting, raids, dog fights and sea-plane activity. 'The Way of the Air' concludes with an interesting hypothesis of how manned flight could have developed in the post-war period. This interesting First World War 'reader' will be a welcome addition to the libraries of all those interested in the early days of aerial warfare.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The organisation and tactics of the air war fought by the alliesMiddleton was a well regarded author on the subject of aviation during the first decades of the 20th Century, so it was inevitable that much of his writings would concern the war in the air that was a new, but vital component of the First World War, 1914-18. The principal work in this Leonaur edition is the text of his book titled,'Airfare of Today and of the Future'. It is important to note that 'the future' in this book is covered in one chapter and concerns the immediate future from the writer's perspective. The main text concerns itself with the introduction of the 'air' 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, 'Heroic Airmen and their Exploits', 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. …
