  Dragonflight
Dragonflight is the first book in the long-running Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey.
The first segment of Dragonflight was a Hugo award winning novella prior to publication of the entire book.
Dragonflight chronicles the story of Lessa[?], a high-born drudge (higher than a slave, but lower than a servant) of Ruatha Hold[?] on the northern continent of Pern.

 Dragonflight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original colonists were reduced to a low level of technology by periodic onslaughts of deadly Thread raining down from the sky.
Dragonflight chronicles the story of Lessa, the sole survivor of the noble family of Ruatha Hold on the northern continent of Pern.
She survived by disguising herself as a drudge (a menial servant) when the rest of her family was killed by the cruel and greedy usurper, Fax.

 Chromatic Dragonflight - WoWWiki
The Chromatic Dragonflight was created by Deathwing from the essences of dragons from the other dragonflights as a weapon against them, and to replenish his own destroyed dragonflight.
While the more traditional types of chromatic dragonkin like quadropods and drakes are generally sound and healthy, the chromatic Drakonid type that is meant to be the footsoldiers of his army often have dire weaknesses to one of their dragon aspects.
It is likely that the Chromatic Dragonflight, as well as the Drakonids, was what Nefarian was planning to use to bolster his army against the firelord Ragnaros and his army of golems, elementals, and dark iron dwarves for control over the Blackrock Mountain.

 Dragonflight and Dragonquest by Anne McCaffery - review
Dragonflight opens with a fascinating female character called Lessa, the sole surviving heir to Ruatha Hold disguising herself as a servant to prevent detection by an evil invader.
As with Lessa’s story in Dragonflight, this subplot is far more fascinating than the main story, and McCaffrey frustrates with long pages of annoying and petty politics between glimpses of a real story.
She introduces one tragedy and two close calls, but then skips ahead to a time when her characters can believably be expected to be, at least partially, recovered from the experiences.

 The Loremaster's Den   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Once the monarch race of all the Dragonflights, the red dragons were charged with the protection of all living creatures and things on Azeroth and keep peace between all the races in the wild lands.
However, when some humanoid races were uprising and the queen of the Red Dragonflight, the Aspect of Life Alexstrasza, was missing, some reds insisted that they must make war against the mortals.
For a moment, this caused the confused red dragons to pause their search, but once they could resume the hunt, they learned that the Orcish Hordes with the help of Deathwing had enslaved Alexstrasza and was raising her offspring for war during the Second War.

 BookLoons Reviews - Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Dragonflight is the first volume in a marvellous (and long-running) series about the Dragons of Pern and their Riders.
It is, in the opinion of many, the best of the author's many excellent works, though perhaps the popular tales built around The Ship Who Sang give the Dragonriders of Pern a run for their money.
I launched my thirteen-year-old on Dragonflight recently and he is already into the second book, delighted that there are sixteen (so far) in the series to read.

 Dragonflight | Classic Book Reviews | SCI FI Weekly
Every 200 years for millennia, the Red Star--the source of the mindless, destructive Threads--passes close enough to Pern to drop its vile invaders down on the fertile planet.
It was folded into Dragonflight when the novel was published in 1968, and McCaffrey has been churning out a steady stream of Pern novels ever since.
McCaffrey reinvented the dragon with her Pern books, taking the mythical archetypes of Western civilization and merging them with the technology of the far future.
