This is a scarce World War I hardcover copy of "The Battle of Chatillon: A Graphic History of the Second Corps Aeronautical School, American Expeditionary Forces, France". Built from scratch amidst the French countryside beginning in February 1918, the Second Corps Aeronautical School was up and running by mid-May for artillery and infantry training with flights taking place before even then. The book has lots of photographs, a history of the School and some nice Deco graphics, as wellas rosters and advertising in the back. The book was published by Dean-Hicks of Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1919.
