THE AIR COMBAT STORIES
By THOMSON BURTIS and EUSTACE ADAMS

Notes

Titles

"The record of daredevil exploits of these army and navy fliers over the front makes breathless reading. Their adventures have the ring of truth for both authors take them from their own experience as wartime aviators."

Need illustrator info for #1, and I don't know if the correct spelling is "Gretta" or "Gretter."
