| 520 | _a"Winged Warfare: Hunting the Huns in the Air" by William Avery Bishop is an autobiographical account of aerial combat written in the early 20th century. It chronicles the experiences of Major Bishop, a decorated pilot in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, as he describes his transition from cavalry to the thrilling, perilous world of aerial warfare. The narrative captures the excitement and dangers faced by pilots over the Western Front, including combat with enemy aircraft and critical support for ground troops. The opening of the book sets the stage for Bishop's military journey, starting from a muddy cavalry camp in England where an unexpected encounter with a flying machine inspires him to become an aviator. He reflects on his training as an observer and the dichotomy between the drudgery of reconnaissance and the exhilaration of fighting in the air. It introduces his ambitions and experiences as he makes the leap from a passive role to actively engaging in the war as a pilot, eagerly anticipating his first chance to fight against the enemy in the skies. This opening portion not only establishes his desire for adventure but also paints a vivid picture of the early days of air combat and the profound shift in warfare during that era.
