About This Book

A journalist offers a sequence of firsthand wartime impressions, starting with a flight in a battle biplane to the fighting lines and continuing with visits inside French and Flemish trenches. The narrative conveys aerial panoramas and cockpit details, approaches to the front, daily routines and living conditions in the trenches, and practical descriptions of grenade instruction, artillery batteries, supply encampments, and battlefield damage to villages and churches. Scenes are linked by clear explanations of military procedures and by reflective observations about the lessons and realities of front-line operations.
