This particular booklet represents Osprey at its most workmanlike. Yes, it covers the topic in question, but it really doesn't go beyond that. How could have it gone further? Perhaps some wrap-up commentary on the impact on post-1918 developments in the relevant air arms might have been in order; particularly since Joseph Vuillemin, the French air commander in 1940, served in these aircraft. You can see how the concept of the "battle plane" would have seemed plausible to bright minds in Paris. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Aircraft of the Aces (123)
Often overshadowed by the fighters that either protected or threatened them, two-seater reconnaissance aircraft performed the oldest and most strategically vital aerial task of World War 1 a task that required them to return with the intelligence they gathered at all costs. Bomber sorties were equally important and dangerous, and the very nature of both types of mission required going in harm's way. A remarkable number of British, French and German two-seater teams managed to attain or exceed the five victories needed to achieve the acedom popularly associated with their single-seat nemeses, and in this book, with rich illustrations and first-hand accounts of the veterans themselves, they receive their long-overdue recognition. Many high-scoring single-seat fighter aces also began their careers in two-seaters, particularly in the early stages of the conflict, and their exploits as either pilots or observers are detailed here too.
