À propos de cet audio
Thanks to a broken leg during flight school, Arthur Stanley Gould Lee gained valuable additional time flying trainers before he was posted to France during World War I. In November 1917, during low level bombing and strafing attacks, he was shot down three times by ground fire. He spent eight months at the front and accumulated 222 hours of flight time in Sopwith Pups and Camels during a staggering 118 patrols - being engaged in combat 56 times. He lived to retire from the RAF as an air vice-marshal in 1946.
Author of three books, this is by far his best. Lee puts you in the cockpit in a riveting account of life as a fighter pilot at the front. At times humorous and dramatic, this thoughtful, enlightening, true account is a classic to be ranked with Winged Victory by W. V. Yeates, also published by Grub Street.

A more cohesive version of No Parachute
A gripping account of primitive aerial combat in the great war. After listening to "No Parachute," I wanted more of this story. While "No Parachute" is composed of chronological diary entries and letters home, "Open Cockpit" wraps them into a more cohesive story, with the author having had time to reflect upon his experiance, it is overall probably the better of the two. The narrator also does an excellent job at conferring the emotion in certain moments. A must-read for those fascinated by both the great war and early aerial combat.
