It is the autobiography of an ace, and no common ace either. The boy had all the noble tastes and qualities, love of beauty, soaring imagination, a brilliant endowment of good looks this prince of pilots had a charmed life in every sense of the word' so said George Bernard Shaw. Sent to France with the Royal Flying Corps at just seventeen, and later a member of the famous 56 Squadron, fighter ace Cecil Arthur Lewis (1898-1997), was an illustrious and passionate fighter pilot of the First World War, described by Bernard Shaw in 1935 as 'a thinker, a master of words, and a bit of a poet'. In this vivid and spirited account the author evocatively sets his love of the skies and flying against his bitter experience of the horrors of war, as we follow his progress from France and the battlefields of the Somme, to his pioneering defense of London against deadly night time raids. A classic.
