About this book
An American recruit enters the French Air Service and discovers how much work lies behind a pilot's first flight. Carroll Dana Winslow begins with enlistment papers, medical tests, a uniform and orders to train at Pau. His account follows the practical demands of learning to fly during the First World War, alongside the friendships and strict discipline that shape life in the service.
Winslow pays close attention to the organization supporting the aircraft, from motor repair classes to the different backgrounds of volunteer pilots. He describes the exhaustion of flying and training flights with artillery observers, who practise navigation, wireless reporting and photographic missions.
