‎Germany's First Air Force 1914-1918.‎

‎Londres, Arms and Armour Press, 1991, gr. in-8°, 160 pp, texte sur 2 colonnes, 125 photos dans le texte, 2 cartes, biblio, index, reliure éditeur, jaquette illustrée, bon état. Texte en anglais‎

‎Just a few short years after man built his first flying machine, Germany's first air force was ready for action; 1910 and 1911 were its formative years, prior to the establishment in 1912 by von Moltke of a separate air arm known as the Fliegertruppe. The author has researched the subject for twenty-five years and has interviewed more than a hundred German aviators. He has had unparalleled access to German archives in East and West, thereby enabling him to present full and first-hand accounts of the often-forgotten airmen who were every bit as brave as their more famous compatriots...‎

‎L'auteur, l'un des historiens anglais les plus scrupuleux de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a reconstitué minutieusement l'histoire de l'aviation militaire allemande, à partir de la guerre 1914-1918. Il s'est surtout attaché à montrer comment la Luftwaffe a toujours pu subsister, grâce aux camouflages astucieux de son état-major, malgré les conditions draconiennes du traité de Versailles, puis à décrire sa triomphale montée dans l'appareil militaire du IIIe Reich, son rôle décisif dans les débuts de la guerre 39-45, sous l'impulsion (souvent démesurément exagérée) de Hermann Goering. Nous assistons aux bombardements foudroyants de 39-40, de la Pologne à Paris en passant par Amsterdam. Nous suivons ensuite la Luftwaffe dans la conquête de la Crête, dans l'épuisante Russie, dans la terrible bataille défensive des chasseurs de nuit contre les bombardements alliés. Nous apprenons un grand nombre de faits inconnus sur les derniers soubresauts avant la défaite, l'apparition des avions à réactions, les armes secrètes, etc. En soulignant "les gaffes monumentales finalement commises par les dirigeants nazis", le maréchal Sir John Slessor, de la R.A.F., assure dans sa préface que "Adolf Hitler, aidé des lumières de Goering, fut effectivement la meilleure des armes secrètes des alliés en matière de guerre aérienne".‎

‎KNIGHTS OF THE AIR: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE EXTRAORDINARY PIONEERS WHO FIRST BUILT BRITISH AEROPLANES.‎

‎Iowa City: University of Iowa Press 1989. 544 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. "The story of the men who spent their youth designing and building England's first flying-machines: the men who pioneered the British aircraft industry. Some of their aircraft have achieved immortality - the legendary Pup Camel Spitfire Hurricane and Lancaster. But of the men who designed and built them men like Frederick Handley Page Tommy Sopwith George Holt Thomas and Geoffrey de Havilland perhaps only Rolls and Royce are still household names. These pioneers of aviation development began to build their empires during Worl;d War I although several of them crashed during the bleak period that followed. World War II revived their fortunes as somehow they met the challenge of enormously increased production and helped save England from invasion. They tested the early jets and speedily built the first post-war jet airliner. But already they were making errors which would result in bankruptcies forced mergers and foreign takeovers. Peter King describes the knight in all their glamour skill idiosyncrasy greed flair and desire for power. Quotations from previously unpublished papers from colleagues and contemporaries and from customers governments the British Air Force commercial airlines for the first time describe how wilful they could be as well as how brilliantly enterprising and entertaining."
