This book explores the evolution of military aviation, particularly focusing on the technologies and uses of aircraft during warfare, especially highlighted during World War I. It discusses various types of airships and aëroplanes, their development, and their strategic significance in military reconnaissance and assaults. The opening of the book sets the stage by reflecting on the transformative impact that aircraft had on warfare, noting that the realities of aerial battles are far from Tennyson's poetic predictions. Bruce introduces the historical context, detailing how early aerial scouts, such as balloons, were employed for reconnaissance in past conflicts, leading up to their critical role in contemporary warfare. He highlights the visibility and effectiveness of these machines as vital tools for armies, emphasizing their development from rudimentary designs to the advanced aëroplanes that were beginning to dominate the skies during the onset of the Great War.
