About this book
An Aviator's Field Book gathers the letters and reports of Oswald Boelcke (1891-1916), the German fighter pilot who was the founding father of air-combat tactics in the First World War. Boelcke wrote the Dicta Boelcke, the first systematic rules of dogfighting, and mentored Manfred von Richthofen before dying in a mid-air collision at twenty-five. His field book records the dawn of aerial warfare from inside the cockpit. It is a primary source for the history of military aviation. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
