Sent to France with the Royal Flying Corps at just 17, and later a member of the famous 56 Squadron, Cecil Lewis was an illustrious and passionate fighter pilot of the First World War, described by Bernard Shaw in 1935 as 'a thinker, a master of words, and a bit of a poet'. In this vivid and spirited account the author evocatively sets his love of the skies and flying against his bitter experience of the horrors of war. We then follow his progress from France and the battlefields of the Somme to his pioneering defence of London against deadly nighttime raids.

An interesting biography of a young man living and growing through the turbulence and aftermath of the first world war. Experiences of life, love and death.

Growing up through the war years

Like most books on WWI, this one is terrifying, and this is no different. However, I felt it also touched on the gentler side of humanity amid surroundings of death and destruction. To have survived the entire war in these terrifyingly flimsy machines, and to have endured watching so many friends go down in flames—let alone famous aces on both sides—is a window into history that should never be forgotten.

Frightning and yet marvellous

This is a classic. A genuine account of the early flying period. Self deprecating but an author who witnessed several moments in history the like of which will not be repeated.

Great story, drops off a little bit after the war time years but that maybe down to my personal interests

Excellent story about life in the Royal flying core during WW1

Despite being over a hundred years since it was written. I found it all very fascinating on a day to day basis during war, but also the lighter moments away from the dreadful bombings and trenches.
Very interesting after the war to be taken to China amongst their traditions and far differing traditions and outlook to the British...

I will have to read this again,in not so long!

The brave, british character who was only in his early twenties at the end of The Great War...1914 -18
