Description
"The Albatros family of fighters were amongst the most effective aircraft employed by the German Air Service for much of World War 1, with the D III and D V/Va being flown by most of the 350+ pilots who qualified as aces at some point in their often brief careers. The Albatros was the scourge of the Royal Flying Corps on the Western Front, being used to telling effect by the German Jastas particularly during 'Bloody April' 1917. Well over 4000 Albatros scouts were built between 1916 and 1918, and the bulk of these saw service against the British and French. This volume provides a Jasta by Jasta breakdown of all the German Albatros aces on the Western Front, and is illustrated with rare archival footage and 42 specially commissioned side-views." --Back cover.
First Sentence
It often comes as a shock to those starting to read about early aviation for the first time that many of the pioneering designs were monoplanes and not biplanes.
