Özet

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
