Aircraft Versus Aircraft by Norman Franks
A history of air-to-air combat, from its beginnings in World War I, to the sophisticated technology of the present day. The book illustrates the often complex manoeuvres of air combat and tells the story of such fighter aces as Baron von Richthofen, Albert Ball and Saburo Sakai.Norman Franks is one of the world's leading authorities on World War 1 fighter aviation, having published some of the seminal works on the subject. He is currently working on a long list of volumes on Great War aces for Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series.
Greg VanWyngarden has had a lifelong interest in World War 1 aviation, and has been particularly active in deciphering the colours and markings that decorated the various German fighters flown by the leading aces. This is his third book for Osprey, having co-authored Aircraft of the Aces 40: 'Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1' (2001) and Aircraft of the Aces 53: 'Fokker D Aces of World War 1: Pt 1' (2002) with Norman Franks.
