    Description

    Gordon's book contains the complete biographies of the 38 American volunteer pilots and the five French officers of the squadron up until their deaths. Listed below are the names of the pilots who are covered in Gordon's book.  Also included in the book are chapters on pilot training, allied and enemy aircraft, the front, the patrol,squadron locations, the squadron's lion mascots, etc.
    The softbound book measures 8-1/2 inches by 11 inches in size and contains 271 pages of text, photos, index, sources.  The Book is in new condition and has never been read.
    The DVD is titled "The Lafayette Escadrille, Flying and Fighting For France April, 1916-December 1917."  The DVD has a running time of 112 minutes. It covers the complete  history of the world famous squadron as told through the use of rare archival footage and photographs. The DVD is in new condition.
    The Author will autograph the book per the purchaser's request.  Shipping is free in the United States.
