A Forgotten Hero, Remembered

War Bird Ace                          
The Great War Exploits of Capt. Field E. Kindley           
Jack Stokes Ballard

"Until now, Field Kindleys was one of the great, yet lost, stories in Air Force history. Jack Ballard brings this world War I ace to life, chronicling the kind of American hero that makes us proud."—Herman S. Wolk

"Almost everyone remembers Eddie Rickenbacker and Frank Luke from World War I; a few recall Raoul Lufbery, Elliott White Springs. . . . To that pantheon must be added the name of Field Eugene Kindley, an American ace who deserves to be numbered in that honored company. . . . Jack Stokes Ballard has revived Kindleys record and breathed life into his memory. War Bird Ace will be appreciated by aviation aficionados, and by those interested in the rise of airpower and the U. S. Air Service during the Great War."—Roger G. Miller

Using arduously gathered primary materials, as well as drawing from other accounts of Great War aces, Jack Ballard has told at last the story of this little-known hero from the glory days of aerial warfare. Through this tale, an era, as well as a daring flyer, live again.
