Bozothenutter Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Repeated from my post in the WW1 section, apologies. Is there a book that details chronologically the development of fighter aircraft? WW1 aircraft development seems to have moved at incredible pace, with new aircraft being (semi) retired after mere months because of obsolescence. I would like to know more of the 'action - reaction' in technology and tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The Putnam Aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps and German Aircraft of WW1 might be a good starting point, and Mark Wilkins' British/German Fighter Aircraft of WW1 are more technical... best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Aircraft of World War I 1914-1918 by Jack Harris and Bob Pearson gives a good overview of aircraft development over the period. The two authors are well respected for their WW1 knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received an email from Naval & Military Press today promoting the book Royal Aircraft Factory by Paul R. Hare discounted from £35 to £7.99 that might help with your search - https://www.naval-military-press.com/product/royal-aircraft-factory/) - WWI not my particular area but there are a lot of other heavily discounted titles for that period on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
