More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the 1916 Punitive Expedition into Mexico, this account details the pivotal role of the 1st Aero Squadron in response to Pancho Villa's attack on Columbus, NM. For the first time, the U.S. Army's air force participated in an active campaign, focusing on communication and observation rather than combat. The narrative highlights the squadron's unique contributions and contrasts the early use of air power with modern military strategies.
