"The War in the Air; Vol. 1" by Walter Raleigh is a historical record that looks at how the Royal Air Force helped shape the Great War. It probably talks about new technologies and the brave people who helped make military airplanes better, sharing their stories from the battlefield. The book starts by setting the scene for a close look at the history of the air war. It points out how important the air forces were in World War I and how flying technology got better, from the first balloon rides to the important work of people like the Wright brothers. Raleigh makes sure we know he did a lot of research to write the story, and he wants to give credit to the unsung heroes who were key in making flying better. This beginning sets the stage for learning about not just what happened in the war, but also the science and people that changed how battles were fought in the air.
