Sky fighters of France, aerial warfare, 1914-1918
Sky Fighters of France is a 1919 Boston and New York illustrated account of aerial combat in the First World War, written by Catharine Rush and illustrated by Henry Farré for a general American readership. Its plates are sepia halftone reproductions of painted scenes showing biplanes in clouds and over open sea, with smoke trails, falling aircraft and dark wings against pale vapour, offering a designer useful study of dramatic diagonal composition and monochrome atmospheric tone.
