Octavo, blue cloth, xv, 312 pp., four double-sided plates. A near-fine copy in dust jacket. Memoirs of World War I is an eyewitness account of the Great War by a man recognised as the "father" of American air power.

These memoirs, based on Mitchell's extensive diaries constitute a captivating history on the overall development of the World War One, the trial-and-error emergence of aerial combat, and the final successes of tactical and strategic air power.
