Letters From A Flying Officer |
Originally a tract to impress the importance of aviation on inter-war British youth, this series of letters from father to son describes life in the RFC throughout the Great War. However, although ostensibly fiction, it is obvious that the recollections are those of the author and his friends and they provide a superb and highly engrossing account of the lives and attitudes of early military aviators as well as chillingly predicting the future London blitz.
