It's an excellent read, and interestingly delves deeply into the role, activities and impact of two-seater recon aircraft; rather than the more popular fighters. Which until this book has been sadly lacking. By concentrating more on the role of reconnaissaince, photography, contact and ground attack, Hooton's book provides a more realistic assessment on the effectiveness of air power in WWI.

Yes, that is the book I meant. I am glad to know its a good one, because I am getting it soon! Does it concentrate more on tactics, or is it a strategic and operational overview like the Luftwaffe books?
My interest in First World War air power is relatively new, so I wonder if there is there another overview book that you could recommend.
