With 26 aerial victories, he was the most successful and most decorated United States flying ace of the war. He was also a racing driver, an automotive designer, and a long-time head of Eastern Air Lines. Per the October 3, 1918, edition of the Los Angeles Times, "Rickenbacker and Fowler [were] close personal friends, dating from the days when both were in the automobile game in Los Angeles, with neither ever having a thought of flying airplanes."This would make a perfect addition to The San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM), Los Angeles Times Archives, Occidental College Collection, Los Angeles Historical Society or your own collection of WWI Military history. Again the cover is loose from the body of the book and there is wear. Sold as I found it. Please see Part two of this history. It is ephemera on and about Mr. Ward Fowler. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
