Download PDF The Kawasaki Story: Racing and Production Models from 1963 to the Present Day-The Lafayette Escadrille was an all-volunteer squadron of Americans who flew for France during World War I. One hundred years later, it is still arguably the best-known fighter squadron ever to take to the skies. In this work the entire history of these gallant volunteers—who named themselves after the Marquis Lafayette, who came to America’s aid during its Revolution—is laid out in both text and pictorial form. his work not only tells the fascinating story of the Lafayette Escadrille, it shows it.Already a student of the squadron, the author spent a full year sifting through university and museum archives in the United States and France for photographs and documents relating to the famed unit. To complement these images, he traveled extensively, taking snapshots of existing markers and memorials honoring the men of the Lafayette Escadrille. In France, he specifically sought out locations where the squadron operated and its pilots frequented. In several cases, he was able to match his present-day color photos with contemporary images of the same scene, thus creating a jaw-dropping then-and-now comparison. To add even more color, the author included artwork and aircraft profiles by recognized illustrators, along with numerous full-color photographs of artifacts relating to the squadron's men and airplanes, as they are displayed today in various museums in the United States and France.The result is undoubtedly the finest photographic collection of the Lafayette Escadrille to appear in print. Along with the expert text revealing air-combat experiences as well as life at the front during the Great War, it is a never-before-seen visual history that both World War I aviation aficionados and those with a passing interest in history will appreciate.Table of ContentsForewordPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPrologue1 A n All-American Idea Takes Shape2 The Escadrille Américaine Is Born3 First Blood4 Into the Grinder5 Season of Discontent6 The Battle Continues7 The Best and the Bravest8 Misery in the Somme9 Mac Goes West10 The Heartbreak of Ham11 Chaudun and Beyond12 Hard Times at Senard13 From Falcons of France to American Eagles14 AftermathEpilogueAppendicesSelected BibliographyArchival SourcesMuseumsIndex
