Title: Falcons of France
Author: Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall
Cover artist: Uncredited
Yours for: $8
Best things about this cover:
- Is this guy going to shoot down the enemy plane or make love to it? Dude is primping. He just needs a bottle of Courvoisier: "Ma chérie, you are about to feel my love guns ..."
- Some of Target's early marketing campaigns were more successful than others.
Best things about this back cover:
- Fokkers!
- Spads!
- Atlantic Bookshelf writes the kind of criticism that sounds profound but is actually completely empty. "Living and consequently better?" "Better ..." than? Than what!? Fokkers!

I don't even want to know.

By 1918, the German airforce was in no position to challenge the skies, so it's hard to credit that its planes possessed "superior firepower."
