An exceptional account by the greatest aerial fighter of WWI
This is a fascinating glimpse into WWI combat flying by an exceptional pilot and soldier who died too young. He was probably not yet at the peak of his abilities when killed in aerial combat in April 1918. His book, written before his 26th birthday, reveals a combination of intelligence, zeal and maturity that is uncommon for a man of his age. He gives us many exciting accounts of combat, but also insight into his life as a soldier, first as a cavalryman and then as a flyer. Definitely worth reading.
