Osprey''s Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1 book is an excellent information source for those interested in WW1 aces. Thanks to Fred Rick Boucher (JPTRR) for the review.

Thanks!

I tend to agree with with Fred Rick Boucher's (JPTRR's) evaluation of the book. Considering the aircraft designs the KuK was saddled with and the "unique" armament designs that were inherent. These pilots definately overcame adversity. The over the wing baby coffin for an unsychronized Schartzlos had to have produce tremendous drag. Yet it was these same designers that took the German Albatros D.III and modified it with 4 successive production batches that served on even after the war into Poland's struggle with the communists.

The Oeffag Albatros D.III and their pilots made their bones over the Alps. No minor feat . Fascinating subject.

Hi Stephen,

That review is my "happy birthday" to you!
