No Parachute - A Classic Account of War in the Air in Wwi

Provides readers with a wonderfully vivid account of fighting in the air during the Second World War. Covers everything from the young airmen whose legendary feats have been passed down from generation to generation, to the lives of the many hundreds of other airmen who flew their hazardous machines high over the trenches without ever being recognised for their efforts. Zusammenfassung From the young airmen who took their frail machines high above the trenches of World War I and fought their foes in single combat there emerged a renowned company of brilliant aces - among them Ball, Bishop, McCudden, Collishaw and Mannock, whose legendary feats have echoed down half a century.
