Fokker D.VII Aces Of World War One
Part I


 

bulletby Norman Franks and Greg VanWyngarden, Osprey Direct, 96 pages, softback, ISBN 1-84176-533-3

bulletReviewed by George Miller in Vol 35 No 2, Spring 2004

This is the latest in a valuable series, and like the others, I am amazed at the amount of information packed in to so few pages. On top of everything else, there are 14 pages of profiles, which complement the sometimes rather poor quality photographs; in fact, a lot of the script is devoted to colour schemes as well. Pithy pocket sized biographies of both pilots and Jastas add up to a really useful quick reference work. There is even a little bit of controversy: was the D.VII the best fighter aircraft of the War, as the authors state?
