Summary: "The Aeroplane in War" by Claude Grahame-White and Harry Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the evolution of the aeroplane as a pivotal military instrument, reflecting on its potential and observed impact during the early stages of aerial warfare. The authors examine the advancements in aeronautical technology and explore the implications for military strategy as nations recognize the significance of air superiority. The opening of the text presents a preface that outlines the authors' observations on the aeroplane's rising importance in military operations during the early 1910s. They discuss the initial skepticism surrounding the aeroplane's reliability and its gradual transformation into a formidable instrument of war, emphasizing its effectiveness for reconnaissance and potential in transport and bombardment. The authors highlight the contrasting approaches of various nations, particularly France and England, in developing military aviation, indicating France's lead in aerial capabilities while underscoring England's newfound commitment to forming its own air service.
