American Fliers in the First World Warby Samuel Hynes
If
you enjoy non-fiction historical books you may like this one. The author has
put together a story about pilots from World War I, gathering information from
journals, letters, and their relatives. The attitudes and daily life activities
of these men are examined, from how their perception of what war was supposed
to be like, to the way pilots act and dress in contrast with infantry men. The
details of what kind of conditions the pilots experienced while flying was very
interesting, and not something I’d read about before, especially in World War
I. If you don’t know anyone who flies a plane, this will give you a good idea
about the particular attitude they possess, and if you do know pilots, this will
just reaffirm what you already know about them.
