Great value book with a great story to tell
Great book. I read it in my teenage years. Revisiting it 40 years later. Great price. As new condition.

As good today as the day it was written
This is one of the classic accounts of real life in the RFC during WW1. It's well written (if a bit flowery for today's tastes) and has significant amounts of useful detail. It also gives a fascinating insight into the society of the day then finally finishes with a young man's experiences in China in the early 1920s. A "must read" for any aviation buff or social historian of the period.Read full review

Excellent, honest, fascinating
A gripping first-hand account of the beginnings of aerial combat, and some interesting insights into the aftermath of the war and the different directions aviation took. Acutely observed and very well written.
Highly recommended bot to pilots and those with an interest in military history.Read full review

Meaningless
The story does not flow, too disjointed, jumps from subject to subject. One cannot get immersed in the story. Not for me.
