Bloody April 1917 by Norman Franks
Even those people who know little of WWI's air war will have heard of Bloody April. After more than eighteen months of deadly stalemate on the Western Front, by April 1917 the British and French were again about to launch yet another land offensive, this time on the Arras Front. Here is a day-by-day, blow-by-blow account of these losses, profusely illustrated with original photographs and expertly told.
Praise for Bloody April, Black September by the same authors: "..One of the most comprehensive overviews of early warfare ever published." - Flypast; "The amount of work that must have gone into...this book... is truly impressive." - Aeroplane Monthly; "... An extraordinarily comprehensive account of air operations in those two months..." - Light Aviation, AOPA magazine; "The authors have accomplished a Herculean task: sorting out the complex events of the two months and organizing them in a precise format. This significant book serves well as both history and reference. It is interesting to read, contains much information, and most importantly, it may cause a major change in the reader's thinking..." - Over the Front
