He became a flying ace, with six confirmed aerial victories, and he spent two years as a prisoner of war before escaping from German captivity to fly and fight again. He took part in the great aerial offensive of 1918 which contributed to the winning of the war. His story of the war in the air is one of the most exciting accounts by a pilot of the Royal Flying Corps. The two books he wrote are combined here in one publication.World War, 1914-1918Aerial operations, BritishWorld War, 1914-1918Personal narratives, BritishAir pilots, MilitaryGreat BritainBiographyWorld War, 1914-1918Aerial operations, British.World War, 1914-1918Air pilots, Military940.44941092Grinnell-Milne Duncan1371222MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910151720203321Wind in the wires and an escaper's log3400112UNINA
