Above the Trenches

Description

一九一四年第一次世界大戰爆發時，美國原本計劃置身事外。然而有些熱血青年滿心渴望奔赴戰場，毅然加入了法國外籍兵團。
When the Great War began in 1914, America had plans to stay out of it. But some young men were so eager to fight, they joined the French Foreign Legion. From deep in the mud and blood of the Western Front, these young volunteers looked to the sky and saw the future—the airplane.
The first American pilots to fight in World War One flew for the French military. France created a squadron of volunteer Americans called the Lafayette Escadrille (named after the great Marquis de Lafayette).
