The second volume of the War in the Air (Oxford

University Press, 17s. 6d.) by Mr. H. A. Jones deals with the Dardanelles campaign, the Somme, and naval operations up to 1916. Here is a whole saga of adventures. Although an official history is necessarily more restrained in style than private reminis- cences or stories of the War, every page of this one is interest- ing reading-and there are many thrills.
