This war introduced the concept of aerial combat, and this book presents the visual documentation of the weapons of the first air war. From rather humble beginnings in the war’s early days, with pistols and grenades carried aloft, to the strategic bombers and heavily armed fighters of 1918, the aerial ordnance of the Great War is displayed here in stunning vintage photographs.

Designed with modellers, aviation enthusiasts, gun collectors and gamers in mind, the photos collected here detail the weapons mounted on Allied and Central Powers aircraft, from pistols and flechettes to cannons and massive bombs.
