À propos de cet audio

Sent to France with the Royal Flying Corps at just 17, and later a member of the famous 56 Squadron, Cecil Lewis 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. We then follow his progress from France and the battlefields of the Somme to his pioneering defence of London against deadly nighttime raids.

I got this one thinking it was a WW1 aerial combat memoir. While a good listen it is more a memoir of a man passionate about flying, there was definitely less aerial combat description in this book than I was expecting. The author does end up going to China after the war to teach new pilots, and hearing about life in 1920's China was interesting and something I would not have probably learned much about otherwise.
