First Edition
Reprint of the first edition of 1965. Reprint of the first edition of 1965. octavo, boards and cloth in dust jacket. 256pp. Pen & Sword, The brother of Lanoe Hawker VC DSO as a tribute wrote this fascinating book. The Hawkers came from a distinguished sporting family with strong military and naval records and Lanoe from the outset set his sights on flying for the RFC. After the Central Flying School he crossed to France in October 1914 with 6 Squadron equipped with BE2s and Henri Farmans. As the war in the air progressed so Hawker came more and more into his own both as a combat pilot and commander. He was rapidly promoted and given command of 24 Squadron. He, like other pilots, flew numerous machines such as Bristol Scouts, FE4227s and the famous DH2s. This book contains many combat reports by pilots of their missions and these make the most graphic reading. The relative merits, qualities and characteristics of the aircraft both British, French and German are discussed with pilots' opinions. For a better insight into combat air operations Hawker VC - The First RFC Ace is unlikely to be surpassed, thanks to the extensive use of first-hand accounts. Casualty/death rates were appalling but this special band of brothers flew on regardless until their turn came. Illustrated with photographs. As new. octavo, boards and cloth in dust jacket.

First Edition
Large octavo, original cloth, xvi, 254 pp., numerous plates. Lower spine end a bit bumped, yet an attractive copy in a moderately rubbed dust-jacket. Lanoe Hawker was not only a pioneer in flight, but one of the earliest pilots to specialise in fighting in the air, and the first fighter pilot to be awarded the V.C. His air fighting was a strange paradox, for he had a kind and gentle nature, was thoughtful and mature for his age, and deplored the misery caused by the war.
