A young pilot named Hugh White joined the Royal Flying Corps in France during the First World War. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming an ace by his nineteenth birthday. He flew a variety of aircraft, including the F.E.2D Scout and the S.E.5a, and experienced many thrilling adventures, including a dramatic mid-air collision with the enemy.
Hugh's writing ends in 1919, at which point his younger son Chris takes up the story. He describes Hugh's life and RAF career, from flying Bristol Fighters in India during the 1920s to commanding 501 Squadron in the mid-1930s and becoming a full-time technical officer until his retirement as an air vice-marshal in 1955.
This book includes a foreword by Air Marshal Sir Frederick Sowrey, Hugh's nephew, which provides context for Hugh's early wartime service. It is a timely reminder of the difficulties that young pilots faced during that time, and a must-read for anyone interested in wartime exploits.
