About this book
The story
Fighting The Flying Circus Volume 1 is a military biography and aviation history memoir written by Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker. This account details the experiences of an American fighter ace serving in the United States Army Air Service's 94th Aero Squadron during World War I. Rickenbacker describes the intense dogfights against German pilots and the specific tactics used to survive the skies of the Great War.
This historical narrative covers the risks of early flight and the camaraderie among pilots in this World War I military collection. The text also recounts Rickenbacker's time as a prisoner of war after being shot down behind enemy lines. As a facsimile reprint of the original 1919 edition, Fighting The Flying Circus Volume 1 preserves a significant piece of aviation and war history for modern readers interested in biography and autobiography.
