In Clouds of Glory
American Airmen Who Flew with the British during the Great War
James J. Hudson
Of the several hundred Americans who joined the Royal Air
Force during the First World War, twenty-eight became aces by shooting
down five
or
more aircraft.
Unfortunately, those American aces who flew only with the British
are
little known by the American public. In Clouds of Glory tells the
story of these fliers in the first air war, young men who risked their
lives and citizenship to help the British fight off the German
squadrons.
An exhaustively researched study, In Clouds of Glory restores these
American heroes to the place in history they had so bravely earned.
