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.
Donnell, Clayton Fortifications of Verdun 1874-1917
This is a fantastic source for my project and has provided almost all the information I will use for my Forts CSV. The book in itself is not very impressive in terms of size when compared to the other books I am using. However, it is jammed packed with diagrams, charts, maps, pictures, and incredibly interesting information about life and function of Verdun's fortification. I knew this was going to be a great resource immediately when I saw a timeline in the beginning of the book from the end of the Franco-Prussian War to the end of WWII, which is then followed by a map of all the forts with their relative construction period, which is then followed by a table listing every fort along with its construction date, modernization date, total cost, men, machine-gun turrets, 75mm turrets, 155mm turrets, and armored observations. Not only will this be useful for my project but also is of great interest to me on a personal note by learning more about the building and defense strategies of the forts.
Doyle, P., and M. R. Bennett. 1997. Military geography: Terrain evaluation and the British Western Front 1914-1918. Geographical Journal 163:1-24.
This article expresses the importance of terrain analysis when conducting ground operations during WWI. Peter Doyle and Matthew Bennett provide valuable insight on tactics deployed by the British during the German offensive within the Somme region as well as an overview of the geomorphology and geology of the region and the effects of military mining. This article is of interest to me because it explains the geomorphology and geology of the region providing the background information to understanding the pre-war conditions. This article also contains helpful cross-section diagrams of the Western Front landscape that are relevant to my research.
Flamm, B. R., and J. H. Cravens. 1971. Effect of War Damage on Forest Resources of South-Vietnam. Journal of Forestry 69 (11):784-5.
This article explores the environmental consequences of warfare with regards to forest resources in South Vietnam. Warfare caused a considerable amount of damage to Vietnam's primary industrial practice. Flamm and Cravens surveyed multiple study areas within South Vietnam and recorded substantial evidence of forest destruction. These forested environments are essential for the protection of soils and watersheds.
Greiss, Thomas A. The West Point Military History Series Atlas for the Great War.
These were two atlases that had a great deal of World War One maps. They had quite a few of where certain armies were at given dates as well as where the front-lines changed through the years. I used some information from these books to discover where certain front lines were as well as the battles that were fought.
Horne, Alistair. Price of Glory
A really good book on the Battle of Verdun, but it has a lot of information I am looking at the Chapters of: The Fall of Colonel Driant, Fort Douaumont, and Fort Vaux and others in between that will be useful to me of describing the battle with dates and tactics. This text examines the Battle of Verdun in detail. It provided the background history for my study areas and gave me a better understanding of the breadth of this battle. This book was really well written and often left me in deep thought about the atrocious lives of soldiers on the Western Front.
Holstein, Christina Walking Verdun
Each of Christina Holstein's books I own are chock-full of pictures, maps, and vivid yet concise stories of the Battle of Verdun. In Walking Verdun, each chapter is broken into two sections, The Events and The Walk. The Events section is a general overview of what took place during different key events in the Battle of Verdun chosen by Christian Holstein. The Walk section then details how the reader can walk from site to site and explains what the importance of what they see. I will use select information from the events sections of multiple chapters in my WWI CSV.
Holstein, Christina Fort Douaumont and Fort Vaux
These books are similar to Walking Verdun, though they cover events surround one specific fort rather then the battle as a whole. With an outrageous number of pictures, maps, and interesting side stories, these books will make my WWI CSV quite robust in regards to events surrounding the Verdun fortifications. I am glad I have these books not only as a useful resource for my project but as a reminder of my favorite part of our trip (the forts) and of the amazing opportunity my class had in walking these forts with Christina Holstein in person.

This article provides valuable insight for exploring my research questions. Using their soils perspective, I can relate their findings to my ecological approach to battlefield recovery. The methods used are quantifiable and can be further examined using the data I collected on both the Theaumont platform as well as Fort Vaux.

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.
Oswald Boelcke
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.
Palmer, Peter. Western Front Association. The Battle of Verdun. March 2010
I really like this think it has a lot of information regarding the Battle of Verdun. It is an overview of the Battle focusing on key events during the War. It also has three maps of where the German's and French were during the battle which was very useful for me.
Pennington, J. C., and J. M. Brannon. 2002. Environmental fate of explosives. Thermochimica Acta 384 (1-2):163-172.
This article examines ground water contamination caused by explosive products and by-products. Over time unexploded ordnances erode, exposing explosive compounds to the environment. The ecological implications of these compounds is not discussed within the article; however, it is valuable in showing the lasting remnants of warfare. The Verdun battlefield is riddled with unexploded ordnances (UXO's). If these UXO's are left on the battlefield or not disposed of properly there is a risk of soil and ground water contamination. Further research will be needed in determining the implications of such contamination.
Raleigh, Sir W. (1969) The War In The Air: Volume 1 & 2. Oxford University.
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.

Treadwell, T and Wood, A. The First Air War. 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.

There is a nice Google earth image with different forts and ouvrages mapped out which I will use to create a similar Google earth project to lock down the positions of all the forts.
Imperial War Museum: This site has a huge catalog of video archives from WWI. Some of the video was filmed for British propaganda about the war effort.
Invalidenfriedhof Cemetery

The website also contained some old advertisements that gave a reward to anyone seen shooting a pigeon should be reported. I used this a great deal for another Google Tour presentation.
National Archives:
This site has American resources from the war. They have a lot of video as well but there are a lot more WWII videos.

Le site web de la fortification Sere de Rivieres
This is a website that has about half the forts and the same number of ouvrages mapped out with pictures and a lot of information on each. All the text is in french however.
