The French Air Service War Chronology: Day-To-Day Claims and Losses by French Fighter, Bomber, and Two-Seat Pilots in the Great War, 1914-18 (Hardcover)

This is a companion volume to the Iasta War Chronology, published by Grub Street in 1998. Frank Bailey, an acknowledged expert on French aviation during this period, has created as detailed a list as is possible covering all the claims and losses of the French fighter force on a day by day basis. Unlike their British counterparts, the French did not credit pilots with kills if they could not be confirmed, although they acknowledged 'probable kills'. Confirmed and probable claims are all listed, therefore, along with the escadrille the pilot flew with and the pilot's running total of confirmed victories.
