The German Air Force in the Great War (Classic Reprint)

Die Deutschen Luftstreitkrdfte im Welt Jcriege, is approximately three times the size of this English version. As Major Neumann points out in his Preface, his object has been to accumulate records concerning everything that appertains to the German A ir Force, not only with regard to its history, but also with regard to its development in technical design and organisation. He has been assisted in this endeavour by twentynine contributors, each one of whom is a specialist in some branch of the aircraft industry or flying service, and it is well to mention that the result is a very comprehensive and accurate survey. Having to confine myself within certain limits, I have been obliged to recast the work and omit a great deal that did not seem to be of direct interest to English readers. For this purpose I have divided the book into two parts, of which the first concerns itself with the German A ir Force as a unit of power, and describes the machines used and the training of personnel; the second part deals with the application of this power, and is therefore mainly historical.
