Knights of the Air: Canadian Fighter Pilots in the First World War Book

Mostly investigatory and bureaucratic procedural, and interesting when it isn't confusing. There are many different parties all with partially overlapping knowledge, and the author doesn't have a strong enough presence to organize it any other way than move chronologically forward from the point of view of what was made known to the public, but that is out of order with what the events those new revelations were concerned with.

The book was published in the year before the Iraq war, and the possibility of U.S. forces gaining unrestricted access to Speicher's crash site and Iraqi prisons and documents wasn't realized. I read the wikipedia entry on Speicher and found that closure was only achieved a few months ago.
