Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from War Flying
This little volume of Theta's letters to his home people is offered in the hope that it may prove useful, and not for glory or reward. The Royal Flying Corps in war-time works in secret. Many of our gallant lads would gladly become pilots if they knew how to set to, work, and, approximately, what they would have to face. When Theta decided to try to enter the service he had nothing to go on save a determination to get there and a general idea of the difficulty of achiev ing his purpose. His careless and unstudied notes, written at odd moments in the work of training and of war, do show how a public schoolboy may become a ?ying officer and how he-may fare thereafter. Names, dates, and places, about which the Censor might have concern, have been concealed, and ex traneous matters have been omitted. The letters are a cheery and light-hearted record, and may stimulate others. From first to last they have not contained a grumble.
