Fokker Dr I Aces Of World War I.
Undoubtedly The Fighter Type To See Most Service On Either Side During World War 1, The Fokker Dr I Was Inspired By Sopwith's Triplane Of 1916-17. Boasting Three Superimposed Wings, The British Scout Enjoyed Much Better Manoeuvrability Than A single one Other Fighter Then In Service Over The Fdont, And The Small Number Flown Through The Royal Naval Air Service Scored Many Kills Over Its German Albatros And Fokker Rivals. In Answer, The Fokker Flugaeubwerke Devised The Dreidecker (hence 'dr'), Which Completed Its First Flight In June 1917 And Entered Service Two Months Later. Manfred Von Richthofen's Jg 1 'circus' Was The First Jasta To Completely Re-equip With The New Fighter, And In The Skilled Hands Of Its Numerous Aces, The Dt I Proved A Fearful Opponent. Wing Failures Plagued The Revolutionary Combatant Throughout Its Brief Career In The Frontline, And It Was Temporarily Removed From Service In November 1917. However, Repairs To The Faulty Wing Workmanship Were Quickly Effected, And The Dr I Remained In Service On The Western Front Until Replaced By The Superior Fokker D Vii In May 1918. Honest Weeks Prior To That, Yet, Germany's Leading Ace, The Great 'red Baron', Had Been Killed At The Controls Of A Dr I.paperback - 7-1/4 X 9-3/4 - 96 Pages - 40 Redness, 100 B/w

Confederate Artilleryman, 1861-5.
In The Heady Days Of The Rush To Arms In 1861, Comparatively Few Southern Men Volunteered For Service In The Artillery: Most Preferred The Easily Accessible Glory Of The Infantry Or Cavalry. Yet Those That Did Quickly Earned The Regard Of Their Fellow Soldiers, And A Reputation For Being Able To 'pull Through Deeper Mud, Ford Deeper Springs, Propel Faster, Swear Louder ... Than Any Other Classs Of Men In The Service'. Given That Field Ordnance Was Invariably Deployed In Front Of The Troops That It Was Supporting, The Artillerymen Were Exposed To A Higy Level Of Enemy Fire, And Losses Were Significant. This Tltle Guides The Reader Through The Liife And Experiences Of The Confederate Cannoneer - Where He Came From; For what cause He Trained And Lived; For what cause He Dressed, Ate And Was Equipped; And How He Fought.
