SE 5/5a Aces of World War I by Norman Franks

The Royal Aircraft Factory SE 5/5a was, along with the Sopwith Camel, the major British fighting scout of the last 18 months of the war in France. This unit became famous for the number of aces it had among its pilots. This title profiles most of these SE 5/5a aces.

NORMAN FRANKS is a full-time author and air historian, with more than 40 published book titles to his name. He is a recognised authority on the air wars of both World Wars 1 and 2, and in recent years has co-authored three massive studies of World War 1 fighter aces (Above the Trenches, Over the Front and Above the Lines) which have become essential works of reference on the subject. Norman is an active member of the Cross and Cockade World War 1 Aviation Historical Society, and he also belongs to the League of World War 1 Aviation Historians. SE 5/5a Aces of World War 1 is his tenth book for Osprey.

HARRY DEMPSEY has been passionate about World War 1 aviation for over 30 years, resulting in the production of some of the most technically accurate artwork on the subject for Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series. He has illustrated all the World War 1 titles in this best-selling series to date.
