    Flying for France.
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017*

This is the finest book on the subject of World War one aviation history I've read. It covers every facet of this notable unit's service. The selection of photos provided is outstanding, and I particularly enjoyed the modern photos, unmistakably showing the scenes of these century old events a s they look todayThe book provides an excellent narrative of the squadron's service. This strikes me as the way aviation history ought to be presented. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Illustrated History of Lafayette Flying Corps
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018*

Of all the books I have looked at trying to find photos and information about the Lafayette Escadrille, this is by far the most focused and complete. Mr. Ruffin has done a wonderful service to the memory of the squadron by his in-depth research. It is a thorough photo history to which he added his own photos of locations in the present day (2014) to capture  the sense of time and place that would otherwise be overlooked in an other format.France has gone to great lengths to preserve the memory and tragedy of the Great War as anyone who has visited the battlefields and cemeteries there can attest. The respect and honor in preserving the places and men and women who lived, fought, and died then, is still alive there as a reminder of the sacrifice millions from many countries made to defend their country from Germany's invasion.  This book more than does justice to the one squadron immortalized by James Norman Hall and Charles B.Nordhoff that has captured the imagination of generations because of the qualities of courage, dedication, and our own personal desires to be part of a great heroic action All those immortalizing qualities and more which were exemplified by all those who fought and died in this war. Of course, I have a personal interest in that Douglas MacMonagle (pic incl.) was one of my father's cousins, and a personal hero growing up between the two wars to when he also volunteered to learn to fly and fight in the second struggle of Western Europe to remain free from the domination of another country. Mr. Ruffin has done all of us a great service in writing and compiling this book. Not only that, it is a beautiful publication.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good read with huge provenance.
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019*

If you are interested in the subject, you won't be disappointed. The author gives a history of the formation and a in depth review of events, flights, locations, air battles, pilots, support, kills, enemy details. At the end a review of each pilot history, birth, location, date of killed or rotated to the US in either civilian or the new US air wing. Amazing detail of personal reflections that make you feel  during the read that you are there! If you are a WW1 history buff with the Aircraft and the men who fly them, then this is a read for you.
