From the first true dogfighters through to cutting edge machines of today, this title recalls the technology, triumph and tragedy of aerial warfare.

From the iconic Manfred von Richthofen: the so-called Red Baron and highest-scoring ace of the First World War, through to British Harrier Jump-Jet pilots of the 1982 Falklands conflict, we recall gripping combat stories that capture the sacrifice and spirit of generations of fighter 'jocks' from many different nations.
