In this installment of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series, take to the skies with the flying aces of World War I "Yippee! We're going back to World War One!" said nobody ever--except maybe the Hangman.   When the Great War began in 1914, America had plans to stay out of it. But some young men were so eager to fight, they joined the French foreign legion. From deep in the mud and blood of the Western Front, these young volunteers looked to the sky and saw the future--the airplane.   The first American pilots to fight in World War One flew for the French military. France created a squadron of volunteer Americans called the Lafayette Escadrille (named after the great Marquis de Lafayette).   This book is about that volunteer squadron. How they got into the French military. How they learned to fly. How they fought--and died. And how these American pilots would go down in history with other legendary flying aces, like the Red Baron and his Flying Circus. Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales are graphic novels that tell the thrilling, shocking, gruesome, and TRUE stories of American history. Read them all--if you dare!… (mere)

Having covered the big picture politics and maneuvers of World War I in a previous volume, Nathan Hale returns to the era to follow a particular unit of fighter pilots, the Lafayette Escadrille, which was composed of Americans who chose to fight for France long before the U.S.A. officially entered the conflict.

This is a terrific series, even if this particular book is not one of its stronger entries. It's a little too diffuse as it tries to cover dozens of anecdotes about dozens of pilots over four years of war. It doesn't help that all the characters are presented as anthropomorphized animals, lessening the impact of the tragedy of war and making it hard for me at times to tell all the rabbits, roosters, and eagles apart.

Still, Hale keeps the educational material interesting by bringing tons of humor and energy to every page. ( )
