SynopsisThis rakish fighter became known as the 'mount of aces', being the type on which the most successful fighter pilots of Britain and her Empire went to war throughout the last 18 months of World War 1. It was the Spitfire of the Western Front: delivering greater speed, range, firepower and all-round performance than the vast majority of its opposition. Often working in partnership with the more pugnacious Sopwith Camel, the S.E.5 and S.E.5a ensured that no enemy aircraft was safe even a long way behind their own lines as the Royal Flying Corps gradually won air superiority over the trenches.
Is full of great stories and photo's of the s e 5 a .I have a number of good books on the plane but the pictures in this book or outstanding well worth it
this book is a general history of the SE5 with a few pics of them being worked on. as a work shop manual I thought there would be more in depth information on the manufacturing and maintenance of the aircraft.
