- The Americans entered the war late and realized they were very behind in aviation technology. This source tells the story of how America had to come organize and become a major player in World War 1 in warfare aviation. I very much recommend this source. I found a lot of useful information and it starts the story of the actually U.S. Air Force.
- Boucher, W. (March 31, 2012). Vickers Aircraft of World War One. Retrieved from http://www.wwiaviation.com/vickers.html
- This source shows and describes the Vickers aircraft of World War One. For each design of aircraft it gives detail about what company made it and all of the aircraft's characteristics. I thought this would be a great website for people who are really into older aircraft. If you explore more on this website you can go to any of the countries that had an air force in World War I and look at their aviation history.
- balloon
- This hyperlink gives you a brief description of the invention of the balloon. I found it very interesting on how they inventors started experiments with balloons. This article is also short and sweet just the way I like it. I am a slow reader and do not have the patience to read long articles and recommend this short article.
- I used this source to get some information on how observer balloons were used and deployed. I also had no idea what the Boer War was all about. I recommend this source if you are looking into how war balloon were deployed and looking into the British Empire in the 19th century.
- Count Zeppelin traveled to the United States during the American Civil War as a military observer. During his time in the U.S. he saw a observation balloon and later he would say that was what inspired him into making his own airships. This is a great source that I enjoyed it was short and sweet with lots of information.
- The Germans and French have a rough history together. The Franco-Prussian War took place in 1870. The French lost this war and were very bitter towards the Germans. The bitterness grew and eventually helped spark the beginning of World War 1. This is a good source to find some information on some of the earlier history between the French and Germans.
- General Pershing was the lead commander of the American forces in World War 1. He fought to get the American forces into one unit and fight on their own part of the Western Front. He eventually won this battle and was able to show that the Americans could help win the war. I recommend this source to anyone who is looking into World War 1 Western Front.
- The cemetery is one of the oldest in Berlin and has a lot of history with WWI and WWII. If you have any German recitatives in either war you might be able to find out if they were buried there. I found it interesting recommend it others for a short read.
- Metz
- Metz is an old and rich in history city, even back before the time of the Romans. I did not know that Metz was that old of a city. This hyperlink gives a some insight on a little of the city's history. This is a short article and recommend it to anyone.
- This is a short article on Oswald. A cool thing about this site is that it gives a list of all his confirmed kills. On this website you can also find other pilots of World War I and find out more about that pilot. I recommend that you should take a look at it.
- Rosenberg, J. (April 27, 2011). The Red Baron. Retrieved from http://history1900s.about.com/od/1910s/a/redbaron.htm
- This is a short online book about The Red Baron. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to others. I found a lot of information not just about the Red Baron, but other topics and researched those topics to help my projects. It was easy to read and gave out a lot of useful information.
- This article was short and about a 5 out of 10 on my recommendation list. The other reference on The Red Baron by Rosenberg I thought was more education and better done. I do not highly recommend this link to others.

- These two books give in great detail the story of the part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force. Each book is over 450 pages, so if you like reading long books and interested in the Royal Air Force of World War I you should love it. Volume 2 has some maps of the battles of the Royal Air Force was involved in and also a little on the Canadians and Australians.
- The Battle of St. Mihiel was the first battle that the Americans were able to have their own part of the Western Front. General Mitchel show the world that the key to future warfare in this battle was air superiority. I recommend this source to anyone that is researching the beginning of the U.S. Air Force because this is were it all began basically.
-The First Air War by: Terry C Treadwell and Alan C Wood
- This book paints a good picture to you in how aircraft were introduced into World War I and how they evolved. It is a short book and kind of just skims over some topics of the war, but if you do not like to read short books this is good one for you. It can give you some ideas for other topics to research if you find anything interesting.
The Great War in the Air by: John H Morrow, Jr.
- This book builds on the the first one listed in part because it gives much more detail about what was happening in the air during the war. The book cover the Western and Eastern Front, it also covers all the major powers of World War I. It is a long read, but again if you enjoy history you should love it.
- I knew the City of Verdun was rich in military history, but I had no idea that it goes back before the times of the Romans. This is a short article on the history of the city of Verdun. I am sure if you are very interested in Verdun this can give you some more topics to research about Verdun.
