'The only book about flying that isn't flannel.' --Anonymous Fighter Pilot, 1941

'Not only one of the best war books...but as a transcription of reality, faithful and sustained in its author's purpose of re-creating the past life he knew, it is unique.' --Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter, written in 1935

'The greatest novel of war in the air.' --The Daily Mail

'Not only one of the best war books...but as a transcription of reality, faithful and sustained in its author's purpose of re-creating the past life he knew, it is unique.' --Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter, written in 1935

A novel - though you would hardly know it - based on the author's experiences over the Western Front in the last year of WWI. Yeates takes you into the mind of a pilot facing fear and fatigue, but also the thrill of combat. --The Week

'Not only one of the best war books...but as a transcription of reality, faithful and sustained in its author's purpose of re-creating the past life he knew, it is unique.' --Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter, written in 1935
