I have a strong interest in WWI aviation, and would suggest the following books by Peter Hart for anyone looking to learn more about the air war conducted by the Royal Flying Corps (later the Royal Air Force):

Somme Success: The Royal Flying Corps and the Battle of the Somme 1916 - Overview of the Fokker Scourge and aerial tactics in 1916 (link)
Bloody April: Slaughter in the Skies over Arras 1917 - Detailed look at RFC operations during March, April and May of 1917, with a strong focus on artillery cooperation and photo recon and the role they played in supporting ground operations. (link)
Aces Falling: War Above the Trenches 1918 - The formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918 and the rise of massed tactics, rather than the cult of personality surrounding individual ace scout pilots. (link)

Hart is a fantastic writer and draws extensively from published correspondence from pilots directly involved in the campaigns named.
