Author: Naomi Novik
What it says on the back:
Aerial Combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain's defense by taking to the skies... not aboard aircraft but altop the mighty back of dragons.

Or just remember to pay attention when squeeing over icons and making a note as to who made them!

Yeah, I had that problem at first too. Then I once searched for hours for the maker of one awesome icon and since then I put the name for credit into the name of the pic when I save it... :)
