註釋Featuring interviews with WWI pilots, crew, and others, this volume celebrates the gallantry of those who engaged in the world’s first aerial combat.

The Great War ushered in a terrifying new era of military conflict. In 1918, the Royal Air Force was formed, sending brave young men into the skies to fight in small, dangerous, and vulnerable airplanes. Voices in Flight presents the experiences and memories of RAF veterans through a series of in-depth, original interviews.

Readers encounter the stories and thoughts of fighter pilots as well as ground crew and others closely associated with this form of combat. These interviews vividly capture the camaraderie, the humor, the sadness—and above all the thrill of flying—experienced by members of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and later the fledgling RAF. Their firsthand accounts of dogfights are as emotionally stirring and they are historically invaluable.
