1. Lords Of The Sky
A briskly told history of air combat that follows the rise of the fighter pilot from World War I dogfights through the jet age, interweaving dramatic personal vignettes of aerial duels with clear explanations of how technology, tactics, and doctrine evolved; the book explores how aircraft design, weapons and training reshaped warfare, how the image of the lone ace was created and challenged, and how courage, skill and human error influenced pivotal battles and the broader development of air power.
