Amid the continuous struggle for aerial superiority during World War I, two aircraft types were at the forefront. Both rotary engined fighters, the Sopwith Camel and the Fokker Dr I triplane were relatively slow for their time, but were regarded as the most manoeuvrable machines produced during the conflict, and the classic pair for a tight, evenly matched dogfight at close quarters. In this book Jon Guttman examines the fascinating story of the design and development of these deadly foes. First-hand accounts and innovative cockpit-view artwork give a thrilling insight into the pilots' experiences during the world's first aerial duels and helps explain their successes and failures.

Description de la librairie

The Dyfi Valley Bookshop was established by Barbara Beeby in 1988 in a conservation area of the ancient market town of Machynlleth, mid-Wales. It has a relaxing atmosphere, a wood burner in winter, and a friendly black labrador, Lochie. We have a large general stock in addition to the specialist subject matter listed on this page. The town itself is very attractive and well worth a visit, situated as it is in the lovely valley of the river Dyfi (Dovey) which runs through the hills to the Irish Sea at Aberdyfi nine miles away. Owain Glyndwr established the first Welsh parliament here in 1404, and the building still stands. Why not pay us a visit? You won't regret it.
