SynopsisWith fighter planes it can be as simple as this: those with the better aircraft generally win. Take a look at the fighters and their firsts, from the beginning of air combat in World War One through World War Two's dogfights and blitzkriegs. Some aircraft made their mark immediately; others initially showed less promise but then came through with flying colors. Also center stage are the pilots who worked miracles with their machines and became as famous as the planes they flew., "It is a rare and happy event when a great idea for a book occurs to the man best suited to write it....The concept of examining the first time each of scores of new fighters entered combat is so good....Guttman lays it out exactly right....Fighting Firsts is a really fine book, a model of its kind, and one that can be read straight through..."-- Aviation History .
