Although the author was an American who served with the Royal Flying Corps in the Great War, this volume is a mostly fictionalized account.  A best seller at the time, "Death In The Air" featured the famous "Cockburn-Lange" photographs, which purported to be genuine pictures of air combat over the Western Front.  The introduction to this edition features the in depth story of how these forgeries came to be produced.
