Short Flights With the Cloud Cavalry

Cavalry of the Clouds
by "Contact"
Air Combat over the trenches by those who fought
The first hand accounts of the experiences of men in time of war
always make fascinating reading. Their stories are, of course,
always as varied as the individuals concerned and the eras to which
they belonged, whether they were soldiers, sailors or airmen, the
branch of their service, their nationalities, the conflict in which
they were participants and in which theatre they fought. This is
what makes military history so fascinating. Sometimes many men
report a common experience that abided for decades. Occasionally we
hear, across time, the voices of a few notable men who fought their
own war in their own special way and once their time had past
history would never know their like again. That is especially true
of the pilots of the First World war. The machinery of flight was a
new technology. The aircraft were raw, basic, flimsy and unproven
machines and both they and the brave men who piloted them were
fighting their first conflict while learning and evolving their
skills and equipment, quite literally, as they fought and died. The
dogfight days of the early biplanes, triplanes and early mono
winged fighters would be short, but their images together with
those of the iconic airships which they ultimately destroyed will
remain indelibly imprinted on the history of conflict and the
development of man's mastery of the air. Heroes to a man, these
trailblazers were almost always young, carefree, well educated and
modest young men full of the joy of living and commitment to their
aircraft and to flying. This special Leonaur edition contains the
writings of two such men from the Royal Air Force, written
anonymously during wartime, which take the reader back to those
dangerous and epic delays of aerial combat over the muddy trenches
of the Western Front in Europe during the Great War. Available in
softcover and hardback with dustjacket for collectors.
