Hero of the Angry Sky draws on the unpublished diaries,
correspondence, informal memoir, and other personal documents of
the U.S. Navy's only flying \u201cace\u201d of World War I to tell
his unique story. David S. Ingalls was a prolific writer, and
virtually all of his World War I aviation career is covered, from
the teenager's early, informal training in Palm Beach, Florida, to
his exhilarating and terrifying missions over the Western Front.
This edited collection of Ingalls's writing details the career of
the U.S. Navy's most successful combat flyer from that conflict.
While Ingalls's wartime experiences are compelling at a personal
level, they also illuminate the larger, but still relatively
unexplored, realm of early U.S. naval aviation. Ingalls's engaging
correspondence offers a rare personal view of the evolution of
naval aviation during the war, both at home and abroad. There are
no published biographies of navy combat flyers from this period,
and just a handful of diaries and letters in print, the last
appearing more than twenty years ago. Ingalls's extensive letters
and diaries add significantly to historians' store of available
material.
