Thanks to a broken leg during flight school, Arthur Stanley Gould Lee gained valuable additional time flying trainers before he was posted to France during World War I. In November 1917, during low level bombing and strafing attacks, he was shot down three times by ground fire. He spent eight months at the front and accumulated 222 hours of flight time in Sopwith Pups and Camels during a staggering 118 patrols - being engaged in combat 56 times. He lived to retire from the RAF as an air vice-marshal in 1946.

Author of three books, this is by far his best. Lee puts you in the cockpit in a riveting account of life as a fighter pilot at the front. At times humorous and dramatic, this thoughtful, enlightening, true account is a classic to be ranked with Winged Victory by W. V. Yeates, also published by Grub Street.

Fascinating history and well written. The reading was annoyingly sing song - something that I am sure the author wouldn’t have wanted. The second half was less interesting than the record of hands on flying and combat in the first half, and the excellent record in ‘No Parachute’ (and that book’s narrator was much more engaging).

Good but less than engaging reading

I've listened to two books by this author, written on the same time period but both very different. Both exceptional and highly recommended

viewed through the eyes of a young newly qualified pilot who grows into a seasoned warrior and then his thoughts many years afterwards as he revisits France. I've listened to this three times and it still captivates me. the last chapter very poinient. his book 'No Parachute' also well worth the time to listen to/read infact the first of this pair I heard.
So wel written and read.

a very moving account of the RFC and WWI
