Description
Hardcover, maroon cloth cover, with dust jacket, entitled "The Sky Their Battlefield - Air Fighting and the Complete List of Allied Air Casualties from Enemy Action in the First War - British, Commonwealth, and United States Air Services 1914 to 1918, First Edition" by Trevor Henshaw, published and copyrighted by Grub Street of London in 1995, text copyrighted by Trevor Henshaw in 1995, typeset by Pearl Graphics of Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, printed and bound by Biddles Ltd of Guildford and King's Lyon, ISBN 0-898697-30-2. As stated on the dust jacket: "A milestone publication, this book provides a definitive detailed listing and description of over four years of continuous fighting in the air in WWI, by assembling the 8,000 casualties that the British and Commonwealth, and American, air services suffered. Every single day of the war has been examined in every theatre and the circumstances checked from every available source. Both Allied and German sources have been studied, resulting in thousands of cross-links with, confirmation of and changes to our previous knowledge of the subject. The book is chronological in structure and the exhaustive listings are linked by contextual passages and commentary which describe air war and how it inter-reacted with the fighting on the ground. Moreover, every single combat and casualty for the first 18 months of the war has been tracked down, providing a completely new and detailed picture of the air battle for 1914 and '15, previously a much unresearched area owing to scarcity of sources. Throughout his work, the author has sought to a considerable degree to assemble the viable truth of events, and where there is a doubt remaining he makes it clear to the reader. Almost 11,000 airmen are fully indexed. With over 150 photographs, many published for the first time, and including the first authoritative listing of combat casualties to American air personnel in WWI, this book is the closest anyone has come to a complete picture and is a key reference on the first war in the air." It begins with a Table of Contents, followed by an Acknowledgements and Author's Note, a three page Introduction, a helpful section entitled Using the Book, along with a Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations. It is divided into ten parts: I - The Western Front 1914-1918; II - Americans on the Great War 1916-1918 (subdivided into four sections: A - l'Escadrille Lafayette 1916-1917; B - United States Air Service Aero Squadrons 1918; C - Americans Known to Have Been Casualties Whilst Serving with the French Air Force in 1918 - Entry Via the Lafayette Flying Corps; D - Americans Known to Have Been Casualties Whilst Serving with the French Air Force in 1917-1918 - Direct Entry); III - United KIngdom and Home Waters 1914-1918; IV - Italy and the Adriatic 1917-1918; V - The Dardanelles and the Turkish Coast 1915-1918; VI - Macedonia and the Aegean 1916-1918; VII - Egypt and Palestine 1914-1918; VIII - Mesopotamia 1915-1918; IX - East Africa 1914-1917; X - The Name Index. It concludes with three Statistical Appendices: I - Losses on the Western Front 1914-1918 by Category, Cause, and Nature of Operation; II - Losses on the Western Front 1914-1918 by Machine Type; III - Important AIR1 Files in the Public Record Office, Kew, relating to the Air Casualties in the Great War. The book contains 578 pages of text, printed in black ink, on a white paper stock, along with 40 pages incorporating multiple black and white photographs (16 inserted between pages 194 and 195, 16 between pages 386 and 387, 8 between pages 482 and 483) and printed in black ink on a coated paper stock, weighing 1.3 kilograms, measuring 182 mm (w) x 254 mm (h) x 48 mm (d).
