[WWI] "Gunning for the Red Baron"

[J. Michael Vice]

For all you readers out there.  Tonight I will finish my latest library acquisition, Gunning for the Red Baron, by Leon Bennett.  Don't let the title fool you; the book has nothing to do with April 21, 1918.  Basically, it's an evaluation of aerial gunnery in WWI, with emphasis on how to hit your target.  You know, stuff like gravity drop, spread of shots at distance, gun jams, etc., etc.  After reading this, it's an absolute wonder to me that anyone ever hit anything, unless from someone's "six" at 100 feet!

A really interesting read, if you're so inclined.  Bought mine on Amazon.
