America's First Eagles: The Official History Of the U.S. Air Service, A.E.F. (1917-1918) (1983) By Lt. Lucien H. Thayer
Author Lucien H. Thayer, a newspaper reporter before World War I, was well-suited to write the official history of the American Air Service, A.E.F. The narrative history by Lieutenant Lucien H. Thayer, written under the aegis of the U.S. War Department and hidden for over sixty years, is undoubtedly the finest work ever published on America's Air Service activities in World War I. This priceless document provides a look at the infant Air Service, the joys and sorrows, tragedies and triumphs of its men, and their eventual development into 'America's First Eagles'.
Donald Joseph McGee has long been regarded as one of America's leading military historians, while Roger James Bender has established himself as one of the leading military editors and publishers in America.
