TAILIEUCHUNG - An Aviator's Field Book Being the field reports of Oswald Bölcke, from August 1, 1914 to October 28, 1916

An unassuming book, still one of those which grip the reader from beginning to end. When the author started to write his daily impressions and adventures, it was to keep in touch with his people, to quiet those who feared for his safety every moment, and at the same time to give them a clear idea of his life. Without boasting, modestly and naturally, he describes the adventures of an aviator in the great World War. It could well serve as a guide to those who are studying aviation. Although he has avoided the stilted tone of the school-master, still his accomplishments as a knight. | An Aviator s Field Book by Oswald Bolcke 1 An Aviator s Field Book by Oswald Bolcke The Project Gutenberg EBook of An Aviator s Field Book by Oswald Bolcke This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
