About This Book

A young aviator earns his pilot's badge and joins the flying corps, undertaking tests, reconnaissance and daring combat missions. The narrative follows his aerial exploits: aerobatic trials, bombing raids, strafing sorties, a night against Zeppelins, and assaults on enemy industrial targets, as he confronts a celebrated enemy ace and faces mechanical and mortal peril. Interwoven descriptions of aircraft, squadron life and wartime camaraderie convey the thrill and hazards of early air warfare while reflecting contemporary wartime attitudes.
