From the Red Baron in World War I to a U.S. medevac pilot in Afghanistan in 2012, this volume honors the brave men and women who served as aviators in defense of their countries. Each pilot's dramatic biographical profile is accompanied by a fact box that provides the aviator's dates of birth and death, country of nationality/allegiance, and his or her branch or service, rank, unit, important military engagements, and service awards. Pilot narratives are enhanced with historical photos of the aviators and their aircraft.
