The Men; Here is where noted author Mr. Franks'' book excells in this arena of study. Beginning with 56 RFC in April 1917 the use of the SE 5 & 5a airframes flourished. It became the backbone of the air service. Mr. Franks follows the careers of United Kingdom Aces in their service flying his great war horse. If the air service was the modern cavalry the boys flying the SE5 types were the Hussars.
