Here Mr. Whitehouse unfolds the full story of the drama and excitement in aerial-fighting techniques used during World War I. The Years of the Sky Kings is filled with fascinating personal accounts of dogfights and pursuits. It is also complete in detailing the answers to the more serious historical questions, as — when were airplanes first used as effective combat weapons? — how did they complement the war in the trenches? — what were the duties of the early bombardiers, gunners, navigators, and pilots? — who were some of the great "sky kings'' and what acts made each man unusual?
