"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."

William Crooks (1852-1921) was an important Labour politician. Born poor in Poplar (a district near London), he began lecturing and teaching, and his open-air meetings got the name of `Crooks's College'. In 1901 he became mayor of Poplar - the first Labour mayor in London. In 1903 he was returned by a huge majority as labour M.P. for Woolwich, becoming the fourth independent Labour member in the House of Commons, holding the seat till his retirement owing to ill-health in 1921. He was active on recruiting platforms during the World War One, and was made a privy councillor in 1916. Crooks excelled as a speaker, mingling humour and pathos with immense effect. He had an unfailing fund of anecdotes, and was unequalled in his power of moving large audiences to support the causes in which he believed. This pamphlet was especially influential in rallying the common folk to the Allies cause. WWI 12
