Wings of War is a historical account of the United States' significant role in the invention, engineering, development, and production of aircraft during World War I. Written by Theodore Macfarlane Knappen and originally published in 1920, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the various contributions made by American engineers and manufacturers to the aviation industry during the war. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of new aircraft designs, the production of engines and other components, the training of pilots and mechanics, and the deployment of American air power on the battlefield. It also explores the challenges and obstacles that had to be overcome in order to establish a viable aviation industry in the United States, including the lack of government support and the resistance of traditional military leaders.Throughout the book, Knappen emphasizes the importance of American innovation and ingenuity in the development of aircraft technology, and highlights the many ways in which American engineers and manufacturers were able to improve upon existing designs and create new and innovative solutions to the challenges of aerial warfare. Overall, Wings of War is a fascinating and informative account of a critical period in the history of aviation, and a testament to the pioneering spirit and technological prowess of the American people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
