A little more than a decade after its first erratic flight, the
aeroplane was thrust into the largest and deadliest conflict
mankind had ever known. The men who flew these early flimsy
aircraft had to learn, not only how to fly but also how to fight,
this is the story of such early aviation pioneers. These are the
adventures of one boy pitched from rustic poverty into a world of
cutting edge machinery, class divides and amoral relationships. A
farm boy whose natural talent for flight thrusts him into a world
where wealth, breeding and social standing are everything, yet he
rises above the cream of society to become a hero in a world
teetering on the edge of war. Becoming embroiled in a plot to
assassinate Winston Churchill and the Prince of Wales by German spy
masters. He is entrapped by a beautiful woman and discovers sex and
flying make for a heady mix. Taking the him from the fertile fields
of rural Lincolnshire, to the flat marsh lands of the cradle of
British aviation in Kent, and on to the wilds of Salisbury Plain.
He fights enemies within the ranks of the R.F.C and flies simple
aircraft to their limits before battling an enemy agent high in the
skies over the English Channel.
This is a story of skill and determination, of espionage and
assassination, of sexual corruption and of petty jealousies played
out to a backdrop of political upheaval across Europe on the eve of
the Great War.
