''An Explorer In The Air Service'' is a memoir written by Hiram Bingham, an American explorer and politician who served as a pilot in the United States Army Air Service during World War I. The book chronicles Bingham’s experiences as a young aviator, from his initial training to his deployment in France and his participation in aerial reconnaissance missions over enemy lines. In addition to his military service, Bingham was also a renowned explorer and archaeologist who is best known for his discovery of the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru. He brings his sense of adventure and curiosity to his writing, providing vivid descriptions of the landscapes he flew over and the people he met along the way. ''An Explorer In The Air Service'' is not only a thrilling account of Bingham’s wartime experiences, but also a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation and the role of the airplane in modern warfare. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, aviation, or the life of one of America’s most accomplished explorers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
