The ebb and flow of air superiority during the four and half years of The Great War, WWI, was punctuated by a succession of fighter aircraft types, each designed as a means of wrestling command of the skies from the opposing side.
This volume of the AirArchive series deals with fighter machines of the Imperial German Air Service, from the Fokker and Pfalz monoplanes of 1915, through to the deadly Fokker DVII and DVIII that were the pinnacle of German air combat capability when the Armistice of November 1918 cleared the European skies of air duelling.

After the end of WW1 in late 1918, thousands of military aircraft, of all types, were burned in huge bonfires or otherwise destroyed as nations disarmed. All this led to very hard times for the aircraft industry that had previously been developing and building aircraft at a vast rate. But new types did trickle through
and the aircraft industry, worldwide, did manage to hang on, making the most of what military and civil orders haphazardly came along, until the worsening international political situation in the early 1930s began to prompt moves to progressive re-armament and demands for more capable military aircraft of all types.
This volume of the AirArchive series concentrates on some of the most famous, glamourous aircraft of that 'Golden Age'.

The period of World War Two, from 1939 - 1945 raised the importance of combat aircraft, of all types, from useful secondary military tool, to a status of prime importance in securing military victory.
During this period, the impetus of military need that and the unlimited availability of national treasure to fund hitherto unheard of operational demands, drove creative aeronautical engineers toward achievements in aircraft performance and capability never previously envisaged.
Over land, aircraft came to be seen as a decisive factor in the tactical role of blunting and defeating ground forces initiatives, and in the strategic task of destroying the enemy’s means of waging war.
On the oceans of the world, the carrier bourne strike aircraft quickly became the prime weapon of naval warfare, relegating the battleships and heavy cruisers to secondary roles - for none could safely operate without effective air cover.
