Osprey Aviation Elite Units 28 — USAS 1st Pursuit Group

Osprey Aviation Elite Units 28 — USAS 1st Pursuit Group
Starting operations in the relatively quiet To sector in March 1918, the 1st Pursuit Group initially flew Nieuport 28s, given to the Americans because the French did not want them. Expanded by the arrival of additional squadrons, the 1st Pursuit Group went to war in earnest over Chвteau Thierry in Jy, initially suffering losses. Re-equipped with Spad XIIIs, the battle-seasoned group went on to fame over St. Mihiel and the Argonne, claiming the most enemy kills by any group in the USAS — partly thanks to the American 'ace of aces', Eddie Rickenbacker, and balloon-busting ace, Frank Luke, both of whom were also awarded the Medal of Honour. Discover the history of America's first fighter aces in this book as first-hand accounts, rare photographs and a wide variety of accurate, fl-colour profiles reveal their thrilling combat experiences.
