Reviews
"Messimer has given us a riveting tale of military theory, aviation technology, bureaucratic infighting, and personal ambition. Anyone who reads this book will be entertained as well as enlightened about the early days of Army aviation."--Russell K. Brown, Journal of America's Military Past, "Drawing on long-neglected primary sources, Dwight Messimer tells the story of bureaucratic rivalry, personality clashes, and rival military theories that led to mutiny and scandal among the United States' earliest U.S. Army aviators. A riveting story in itself, An Incipient Mutiny is a valuable addition to our understanding of why the United States, the world's leader in aeronautics in 1903, fell so far behind the rest of the world in military aviation by World War 1."--Jonathan Roth, author of Roman Warfare and director of the Charles Burdick Military History Project, "In this straightforward, well-researched, and engaging work, Dwight Messimer highlights early U.S. military aviation challenges. . . . Focusing on a highly publicized court martial that facilitated Army Aviation's much-needed reorganization, the author adroitly weaves the interplay of aircraft technology and aviation administration--both in their infancy--within the context of legal precision and the full spectrum of human behaviors."--Forrest L. Marion, historian for the Air Force Historical Research Agency and author of Flight Risk: The Coalition's Air Advisory Mission in Afghanistan, 2005-2015 ?, "In an intensely human story of ambitions and bureaucratic infighting, Dwight Messimer has made an outstanding contribution to aviation history through his extensive research and detailed use of primary sources, army documents and personal letters and accounts. It concludes with a masterful, edge-of-your-seat courtroom account rivaling The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell ."--Alan D. Zimm, CDR, US Navy (Ret.), author of Attack on Pearl Harbor: Strategy, Combat, Myths, Deceptions, "With An Incipient Mutiny , Dwight Messimer has broadened our understanding of American aviation in World War I."--James Streckfuss, Michigan War Studies Review, "In this straightforward, well-researched, and engaging work, Dwight Messimer highlights early U.S. military aviation challenges. . . .

Synopsis
An Incipient Mutiny traces the creation of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Aeronautical Division in 1907 up to the establishment of the Air Service of the National Army in 1918. It is a shocking account of mismanagement, criminal fraud, and cover-up that led ultimately to a pilot revolt., An Incipient Mutiny traces the creation of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Aeronautical Division in 1907 up to the establishment of the Air Service of the National Army in 1918. It is a shocking account of shortsightedness, mismanagement, criminal fraud, and cover-up that led ultimately to a pilot revolt against the military establishment. Dwight R. Messimer focuses on the personalities of the pilots who initiated the rebellion and on the Signal Corps officers whose mismanagement brought it on. The official air force histories say nothing about the poor construction and design flaws in the airplanes that the Signal Corps used, which were responsible for the deaths of 25 percent of the pilots, a death rate so high that no life insurance company would issue them a policy. At the same time, there were airplanes on the market that were superior in every way to the planes the army was using and less expensive as well. The loss of human life, then, could not have been more senseless.
