The war above the battle lines of the First World War is brought to life in these tales of the cavalry of the skies. However, by and large, the knights of the air were not much given to self-publicity that their exploits and effectiveness entitled them to. Writing under a pseudonym, Boyd Cable, who spent a year at the front with them, wrote of the feats of his flying companions. From flying patrols through 'archie' fire, bombing raids, and interceptions of enemy planes, the author captures the fascinating war within a war in the skies above.
