War Flying by a Pilot

by Lessel Finer HUTCHEON (1897 - 1962)

The Development of an Idea - Preface, Opening Poem, and Introductory Section

Published in 1917, this "little volume of 'Theta’s' letters to his home people" was assembled to provide useful information for young men who might like to become pilots for the Royal Flying Corps. A mixture of conversational letters, poems, and descriptions of flying, the book proves entertaining, even today, despite having been written in training and in active duty during World War I. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins
