Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1

Σειρά AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES, βιβλίο No 46: Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1

Featuring illustrations throughout, a detailed exploration of the unlikely aces among the Austro-Hungarians.

Starting the war with only 35 aircraft, Austro-Hungarian industry went on to produce only moderate numbers of poor quality aircraft. The fliers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire operating on the Serbian and Russian fronts were fortunate at first, finding themselves faced by small numbers of aircraft yet more obsolescent than their own. Serbia fell in 1915, but when Italy declared war the Austro-Hungarians were still faced with a two-front war – a static front against Italy, and a far more fluid one against Russia.

As Christopher Chant explains in this compact volume, Austro-Hungarian fighter pilots performed bravely and often very effectively under extremely difficult geographic, climatic and operational conditions.
