Produktbeschreibung

was often misrepresented because it was either used to promote specific agendas or it was inappropriately employed as evidence in unrelated historical arguments. This study would be the first to take an objective look at the writing and publication of the naval and air official histories as they told the story of naval aviation during the Great War. The next chapter examines the German view of aircraft effectiveness, through German actions, prisoner interrogations, official histories, and memoirs, to provide a comparative judgment. The conclusion closes with a brief narrative of post-war air anti-submarine developments and a summary of findings. The book concludes that despite the challenges of organization, training, and production the employment of aircraft against U-boats was largely successful during the Great War.
