Recenzii
'Dr Von Hardesty has written a thoughtful, elegant, and compelling account of an almost unknown chapter in the life of one of America's most famous twentieth-century artists. His treatment of Edward Steichen's service in World War I is full of surprises that will illuminate the work of art historians, military historians, and cultural historians. This is a pioneering work … It is a wonderfully appealing subject, deftly and smoothly realized by a master craftsman.' Michael Gorn, Research Associate, Smithsonian Institution, National Air and Space Museum
'You wouldn't think that there would still be untold stories of the first World War; but in Edward Steichen's pioneering of the dangerous art of wartime aerial photography, Von Hardesty has found one. No one is better suited to tell it than this veteran aviation historian. He superbly evokes the experience of being under fire when flying a fragile craft of wood, cloth and wire, while taking pictures at the same time.' Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918
