This book outlines in exhaustive details the biographies of the aces of the German Air Service, Naval Air Service, and Flanders Marine Corps. Introductory notes provide, in most cases, place and date of birth, previous military service, decorations and postwar career. But the most extraordinary achievement by the authors is in their research into the victory claims of the pilots, and especially Manfred von Richtofen. In every case, the biographies include a full list of all claims made, by date, time, location, together with the type of aircraft.
