Excerpt from Tails Up
The development of flying, the work of the pilots and observers, the new, sure shield of the British Empire in the skies, are beyond all comment, and need no explanation. But the doing on"t, the story of it, the dauntless courage of it, have made our hearts leap. The daring and the gallantry of it have made the horrors of bloody war almost worth the while. They have put History to shame, and dwarfed even the Odyssey of Homer to insignificance. Ill befits a feeble pen to attempt to trace the deeds of their Golden Book. In due humbleness has this volume been compiled.
