A thrilling account of a World War I airman's service in the skies over the trenches: "Well detailed and illustrated. . . . highly recommended." -Over the Front
This book follows the First World War career of Captain (later wing commander) Edwin Swale, CBE DFC and bar, who served with 210 Squadron RAF, piloting Sopwith Camel scouts between March and October 1918. During this timeframe, he destroyed seventeen enemy aircraft, the majority being the formidable Fokker DV11. He undertook a series of perilous operations, including patrols, bombing and strafing missions, and bomber escorts. After the cessation of hostilities, he continued his flying career by piloting gliders over his native Derbyshire.
He rejoined the RAF during the Second World War, and ended the conflict as an intelligence officer in charge of Ultra operations with the 2nd TAF. His legacy continued with his son Duncan, who also served in the RAF during the Second World War, flying low-level intruder operations in de Havilland Mosquitoes and earning a DFC and a US DFC-and he also left his mark on his native Chesterfield, where he served as mayor, among other prominent positions. This is his story, told in full and thrilling detail.
