‎Canadian Airmen and the First World War‎

‎Toronto: University of Toronto Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1980. First Edition; Second Printing. Hardcover. 0802023797 . Cloth boards show light edge wear. Dust jacket has some edge wear & light creasing ; A bright solid book Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. A number of fold-out maps throughout ; The Official History of the Royal Canadian Air Force #1; B&W and Color Photographs Maps; 9.90 X 6.90 X 2.40 inches; 771 pages; The first of three volumes of the Official History of the Royal Canadian Air Force this book provides the definitive story of Canadian airmen in World War I and moreover a revisionist account of the war in the air.Organized topically this volume begins with an overview of military aviation in Canada prior to 1914 as successful aircraft experiments like Baldwin's and McCurdy's Silver Dart are set against Defence Minister Sam Hughes' rejection of any government air policy. Financial timidity and political uncertainty subsequently decreed that the 20000 Canadians who trained for or fought in history's first air war would have no air force of their own but would fly in the British flying services.The sections which follow show that Canadians excelled in every aspect of the air war. Indeed although the First World War never saw an exclusively Canadian squadron in action and no Canadian rose to a command above Group level Professor Wise has been able to write a full account of the war in the air from the Canadian perspective. Recruitment and training the maritime air war the strategic bombing of Germany and the defence of Great Britain as well as action on the Western Front in Italy and in Macedonia are all covered in depth. Each section reveals the complexity of air operations as tactics strategy and aircraft evolved with astonishing speed. The exploits of remarkable fighter aces such as Billy Bishop Raymond Collishaw D.R. MaccLaren and W.G. Barker and of bomber leaders like R.H. Mulock are set in the context of the air war and the many thousands of Canadians who served with them.In his conclusion Wise traces the development of Canadian government air policy to the year 1920 during which time the first Canadian air force was born and quickly died. In analysing this major step in Canada's entry into the air age he lays the foundation for postwar civil expansion and the formation of the RCAF.Illustrated with specially prepared colour and sketch maps and over 200 photographs many of them published here for the first time this book should prove invaluable to the military historian and of wide appeal to the aviation enthusiast and general reader alike.The other volumes in the Official History of the Royal Canadian Air Force are The Creation of a National Air Force by W.A.B. Douglas and The Crucible of War 1939-1945 by Brereton Greenhous . University of Toronto Press hardcover‎

‎A Passion for Wings Aviation and the Western Imagination 1908-1918‎

‎New Haven: Yale University Press. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1994. First Edition. Hardcover. 0300057784 . DJ shows some shelf wear with small tears. ; A bright solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; B&W and Colour Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 320 pages; "The invention of the aeroplane was both the realization of an age-old human fantasy and a portent of a great new future. This book - a cultural history of the pioneering phase of aviation - tells the story of the ways in which powered flight captured the imagination of writers artists and intellectuals and helped to shape new visions of the world. Prize-winning historian Robert Wohl describes the colourful early aeronauts: the brilliant taciturn Wilbur Wright who arrived in France to demonstrate his invention to a sceptical audience and soon became their idol; Alberto Santos-Dumont a Brazilian expatriate and dandy who delighted the Parisian public by landing his dirigible in front of his house on the Champs-Elysees; and Louis Bleriot the first man to fly across the English Channel. He then looks at responses to the development of the flying machine by such writers and artists as H.G. Wells Emile Driant Franz Kafka Gabriele D'Annunzio Edmond Rostand F.T. Marinetti Vasily Kamensky Kazimir Malevich and Robert Delaunay showing how the responses ranged from celebration of flight to dire warnings of its military implications. Finally he explores the creation of the flying ace the knights-errant of the sky analyzing how such men as Roland Garros Oswald Boelcke Manfred von Richthofen and Georges Guynemer became famous how they came to terms with their deadly pursuit and how they were mythologised after their deaths. Generously illustrated with rare photographs drawings paintings and posters the book evokes an era of pride power and endless possibility when the sky first became a new frontier." .
