Note FIRST only. "When the United States entered the First World War its military aviation was unprepared for the immediate requirements for pilots. This book is about one of the American cadet detachments that were sent over to Europe for flight training and combat against the Central Powers. The diaries and letters from Italy of these fresh graduates from the best of nation's universities tell us about a mostly unknown part of that war's history." -- Publisher's website. Includes index.
