- "This book deals with those American aces who flew only with the British Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service, which, after 1 April 1918, were combined to form the Royal Air Force. Although the term 'ace' was not officially recognized by the military services of the various nations in World War I, it became an accepted word used to describe a flier, who, in war, had succeeded in shooting down a certain number of enemy aircraft and observation balloons ... The title originally signified any pilot of outstanding skill and bravery, no matter how many victories he had made"
