THE ROMANCE OF AIR-FIGHTING.
31p. 12mo. Original full printed wraps. Remains of album mountings on rear wrap. Nice copy. Contents of this scarce World War One piece include such sections and statements as: The Pilot's Training; War Flying; Duelists of the Air; Miscellaneous Duties; Deeds of Heroism; The Finest Air Story of the War; A Chance for the Americans "Now that thousands of Americans have enlisted in the Flying Corps, and other thousands are debating in their minds whether or not to follow their example. "The flying men will win the War. The historians of the Great War may conceivably tell us that the final rout of the Central Empires was brought about when ten thousand American airmen and ten thousand American aeroplanes arrived in Europe to destroy the enemy communications and cut off the German trench-dwellers from all their sources of supply. Is this possible? It is assuredly not impossible, and that is why the time has now come when American citizens are realising that fighting the Prussians in the air is one of the noblest enterprises permitted to the youth of the present day."
