Recenzje

'You wouldn't think that there would still be untold stories of the first World War; but in Edward Steichen's pioneering of the dangerous art of wartime aerial photography, Von Hardesty has found one. No one is better suited to tell it than this veteran aviation historian. He superbly evokes the experience of being under fire when flying a fragile craft of wood, cloth and wire, while taking pictures at the same time.' Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918
