Evocative and entertaining, the book contains many surprises and if you are wondering why a replica aeroplane built for the film 'Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines' appears among early pages you'll just have to buy a copy and find out for yourself!

Windsock International

The blend of historical detail and practical directions make the book both enjoyable reading, and an encouragement to do additional research about the sites. It is by no means a comprehensive study of each location, but an admirable guide that will easily fit into you kitbag on your next trip to France!

Aerodrome Magazine

The book gives a good picture of the raw but also ‘romantic’ lives of the pilots at that time. There are also variants of this book for the area around Ypres, Arras and Cambrai.
