Fairley. Barely a decade passed from the Wright Brothers' first powered flight to aircraft becoming lethal instruments of war. The Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service took off in the very early days of The Great War and captured the public's imagination and admiration. Feeding on the demand for works depicting this new dimension of warfighting, a new genre of art was born which has remained popular ever since. This title brings together a dazzling collection of art works covering over 100 years of air warfare, enhanced by lively and informative text. 160 pages, 60 color illustrations, 11"x 8½", hardcover.
