Summary:
Mine is an E book series. First of his British Ace series. Fast paced, it takes our hero Bill Harsker from a lad on an estate working with horses through to joining up with the local yeomanry and the early battles of WW1. With a cool head and a flair for leadership young Bill gets badly wounded and is one of only 3 survivors from his troop to return to England. Fighting machine guns with cavalry is not possible so following recupperation he follows his Lord into the RFC and soon shows his mettle in aerial warfare. The book ends with Lt Harsker, seasoned Ace pilot, heading off for a well deserved leave to England. Easy to read although maybe not exactly historically accurate, I enjoyed this one so much I bought the rest of the series 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918.
