Praise for Lost Eagles'The pilot and observer stories selected have not previously seen much exposure.

Thorough annotation makes the book that much more valuable to WWI aviation scholars as well as for more casual aircombat buffs.'BooklistThe Cruise of the Sea Eagle: The Amazing True Story of Imperial Germany's Gentleman Pirate'This is a gem of a story, well told, and nicely laid out with photos, maps, and charts that cleverly illuminate the lost era of gentlemen pirates' at sea . . . [German commerce raider Felix von Luckner's] legend lives on in this lively and readable biography.'Admiral James Stavridis, U.S. Navy, Naval HistoryFew people have ever heard of Frederick Zinn, yet even today airmen's families are touched by this man and the work he performed in both world wars. Zinn created the techniques still in use to determine the final fate of airmen missing in action. The last line of the Air Force Creed reads, 'We will leave no airman behind.' Zinn made that promise possible.Blaine Pardoe weaves together the complex story of a man who brought peace and closure to countless families who lost airmen during both world wars. His lasting contribution to warfare was a combination of his methodology for locating the remains of missing pilots (known as the Zinn system) and his innovation of imprinting all aircraft parts with the same serial number so that if a wreck was located, the crewman could be identified. The tradition he established for seeking and recovering airmen is carried on to this day.Blaine Pardoe is an accomplished author who has published dozens of military fiction novels and other books, including the widely acclaimed Cubicle Warfare: SelfDefense Tactics for Today's Hypercompetitive Workplace; Terror of the Autumn Skies: The True Story of Frank Luke, America's Rogue Ace of World War I; and The Cruise of the Sea Eagle: The Amazing True Story of Imperial Germany's Gentleman Pirate.Jacket photo: Frederick Zinn's Sopwith aircraft, which crashed during World War I.
