Focusing on pre-war endeavours to establish military air services, the Aerial Ascendancy series examines how technological advances and strategic imperatives shaped early aviation in Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany. Volume 2 describes the aeronautical endeavours of Austria-Hungary, from balloon reconnaissance to the founding of the k.u.k. Military Aeronautical Institute and the Airship Department. It examines the challenges of manufacturing aircraft, training pilots and integrating airships and aeroplanes into military operations. A comparative perspective emphasises the unique contributions of Austria-Hungary in comparison to its European partners. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, technical diagrams and illustrations, this volume brings to life a fascinating and often overlooked era.
