Growing up on a ranch in Sterling, Colorado, Frederick Libby tamed countless horses, drove cattle, and even roped an antelope. When World War I broke out, he enlisted in the Canadian army with the same happy-go-lucky daring and grit with which he approached all things. In France, he became an aviator with the Royal Flying Corp, downing an enemy plane on his first day of battle over the Somme. He went on to become an ace, with 24 victories to his credit, just two less than Captain Eddie Rickenbacher. This is a rare piece of Americana, told in as pure and compelling a voice from the vernacular heart of this country as you will ever hear.

Editör yorumları

The sparkle and humor that Frederick Libby brought to being a cowboy stays with him through his stint as World War I ace and straight through his later life, as he clearly had a grand time writing these memoirs. Stephen Bowlby’s performance of the audiobook grounds Libby’s laissez faire attitude, keeping it flowing while retaining its everyman feel. Libby presents himself as a wisecracking cowboy but he undoubtedly led a remarkable life and his story provides a unique slice of real American cowboy attitudes and how that rugged individualism transferred for one man to the air battles of WWI.

Really easy to listen. Interesting and If it is not a movie it should be.

A true inspiration well written and well read. Gives you a feeling of being there, out in the old wild west and equally as a pilot in the First World War . Well done!

fantastic narrative from someone who led a full life. The narration was good despite some minor pronunciation errors (Boulogne)

a great story

A colourful and sincere snapshot of one young man’s life growing up as a cowboy and through his search for a path of adventure is innocently drawn into the air conflict of WW1. A real boys own story written from the memoirs of a great man. Books like this bring home to us that for many of us we live in halcyon times by comparison.
So many young fliers died in conflict yet the fearless bravery of one survivor is told here in a frank open and honest account of a Life.

A Life
