Cover Art

Artist William Marsalko's contribution is this depiction of Flight Sub Lieutenant Reginald Warneford's successful attack of the German Zeppelin LZ37. This was the first victory of a heavier than air aircraft over a lighter than air dirigible. Warneford was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bomb attack of the airship but was to die tragically in an accident soon after.
