Excerpt from Above the BattleThe word Romance, and all it 'means, is so closely allied to the average conception of the present day War Pilot that the layman can scarcely visualise the many sides of military aviation alone, nor yet the immense growth of the Corps to which he belongs.From an inconsiderable beginning - inconsiderable in the light of our present size - with few machines and few aerodromes, has grown a mighty organisation, and from a mere handful of pioneers there has arisen a vast band whose deeds have created a great Flying Service. In France, Russia, Italy, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mace donia and Syria the pilots of the Royal Flying Corps have fought the enemy and wrung from him the utter most respect for the familiar red, white and blue rings. But this respect and our supremacy has not been won without many a bitter struggle, and it is the details of the ever changing phases of aerial warfare which, even if described with a truth akin to baldness, are by far stranger than fiction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
