A memoir by a WWI fighter pilot, with the adventurous spirit of
"War Horse" and the charm of "The Little Prince"
A singular, lyrical book, "Sagittarius Rising" is at once an
exuberant memoir from the Lost Generation and a riveting tale of
the early days of flight during World War I. Cecil Lewis lied his
way into the British Army's Royal Flying Corps at age sixteen and
was ordered to a squadron on the Western Front only a year later.
At the time, flying was so new that designers hadn't even decided
on basic mechanics such as how many wings a plane should have.
Despite this, Lewis mastered virtually every kind of single-engine
plane in the RFC, going on to excel in active duty and even to
dogfight the Red Baron--and live to tell the tale. Full of
infectious charm and written with the prose and pacing of a novel,
"Sagittarius Rising" beautifully recounts Lewis's harrowing
exploits in the sky alongside his wild times of partying and
chasing girls while on leave in London. His coming-of-age story is
unlike any other WWI memoir you've read before.
