The
history
of
WWI
aviation
is
a
rich
and
varied
story
marked
by
the
evolution
of
aircraft
from
slow
moving,
fragile,
and
unreliable
powered
kites,
into
quick,
agile,
sturdy
fighter
craft.
At
the
same
time
there
emerged
a
new
kind
of
'soldier',
the
fighter
pilots
whose
individual
cunning
and
bravery
became
crucial
in
the
fight
for
control
of
the
air.
Dog-fight
traces
this
rapid
technological
development
alongside
the
strategy
and
planning
of
commanders
and
front-line
airmen
as
they
adapted
to
the
rapidly
changing
events
around
them
and
learned
to
get
the
best
from
their
machines.
Often,
this
involved
discovering
and
employing
tactics
instinctively
to
stay
alive.
Based
on
the
author's
personal
correspondence
with
a
number
of
WWI
fighter
pilots
and
aces,
and
drawing
on
published
contemporary
memoirs,
this
is
an
authoritative
and
lively
history
that
serves
as
a
captivating
tribute
to
the
brave
pilots
of
both sides.
