swapilot Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I kow this is not really a post about Wingnut Wings or their outstanding kits, but here it goes anyway. One of my favorite parts of this hobby is the educational side that it brings. Researching a particular aircraft and unit of a model that I want to build is always fun. I have two books coming on the Salmson, however I really know nothing about French Aviation in WWI. Can anyone recommend a book that is currently available that will help me learn more about this subject? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swapilot Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well I think I found one. It is called "French Strategic and Tactical Bombardment Forces of World War I". While it is not about all of French Aviation in WWI, as a former bomber pilot it is about a part of French Aviation that is near and dear to my heart.

Typhoonattack Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'd recommend Nieport Aces of World War 1 by Osprey Publishing, as an economical starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonattack Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The SPAD VII and SPAD XII/XIII Aces books by the same publisher are also interesting reads on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
