Be sure to read CAC Board member James McBride's review of "Terror of the Autumn Skies: The True Story of Frank Luke, America's Rogue Ace of World War I" by Blaine Pardoe in the Autumn 2009 issue of The Journal of Arizona History. An excerpt:
. . . Perdoe provides an excellent account of individual aerial combat ("dogfights"). Here again the emphasis is on the brash, independent, undisciplined, character of Frank Luke. Frank never adjusted to, nor accepted, military discipline. This was especially alarming in a type of warfare that required cooperation and discipline. Much of the book focuses on Frank's rejection by most members of his squadron.
