This volume, one of the first books on fighting in the air, is written
by a fighting airman. The Author depicts the daily life of a flying
officer in France, simply and with perfect truth; indeed he describes
heroic deeds with such moderation and absence of exaggeration that the
reader will scarcely realise that these stories are part of the annals
of a squadron which for a time held a record in the heaviness of its
losses. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series;
creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction,
autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to
mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new
perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history.
Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a
timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
