War Flying by a Pilot

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,444 Sterne; 9 Bewertungen)

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 (2 hr 22 min)
