The autobiographical account of a pilot's life in the pioneer days of aerial warfare from 1916 to 1918, based on a day to day account from the diary of Squadron Leader C.P.O. Bartlett, who served with the Royal Naval Air Service piloting bombers along the Belgian Coast, and later with the R.A.F. in France during the Ludendorff Offensive. A personal history of the grim reality of war fought from the new and exciting arena of the sky recorded by a young officer who also socialised in the mess, indulged in off duty pranks and festivities and made an occasional almost surreal visit to Blighty . The text is supported by 75 photographs many of which were the author's own.
