Reviews

It is the best by far of what has been written. Very accurate, very well researched. Flammer came here to visit me, even. He covered the waterfront. --Edward F. Pop Hinkle, former pilot with the Lafayette Escadrille


This immensely readable book is a welcome study that eschews glamorization for a clear and well-documented narrative. -- Air Force Magazine A clear, fully documented study based on extensive research in Europe and the United States. -- American Historical Review Flammer has done an excellent job of recreating the many exciting battles in which the squadron was involved. The Vivid Air is certainly a scholarly and absorbing account of this singular volunteer fighter unit. -- Canadian Aviation Historical Society Journal This is a book to be cherished not only by the dwindling number of World War I American airmen still living, but also by military aviators of any generation. -- San Diego Union As thorough and complete an account of the famous squadron as we are ever likely to have. -- Library Journal It is the best by far of what has been written. Very accurate, very well researched. Flammer came here to visit me, even. He covered the waterfront. --Edward F. Pop Hinkle, former pilot with the Lafayette Escadrille Impressively researched in primary sources, this is as thorough and complete an account of the famous squadron as we are ever likely to have. -- Library Journal


This is a book to be cherished not only by the dwindling number of World War I American airmen still living, but also by military aviators of any generation. -- San Diego Union
