... and one of the best goddamned books ever written on our favorite subject! (The author, Alex Revell, can be read and contacted here at The Forum).
HITEB is 'out-of-print', but you can still obtain a copy ($50) from www.Aeroplanebooks.com ...

I second the recommendation. This book has more useful information per page than just about anything else ever printed about WWI combat, and it is a LARGE volume as well. So the value for the price is tremendous.
