This book was first published by Constable & Co in 2 volumes in 1995, under the title The Royal Flying Corps in France, (reviewed in 26/4). Now in a handy single volume paperback, I found it very readable on holiday. Written in the anecdotal style made famous by Lyn Macdonald, it tells the story of the airmen over the Western Front and (which is very interesting) their mechanics, from diaries, letters and conversations.
