    Simpler times but with high mortality both in combat and flying routine missions. It came with the territory, in the air among the clouds and mists.

    In my opinion this book did not reflect its title. As a personal memoir, written as a diary for his own use, it would have served that purpose. As it stands it does not really tell you much about what it was really like to fly for France. No information on aircraft types and their characteristics.

    It has only been a short time since I read this but it really did not impress itself on my memory. It is not a really bad book but it is not very memorable. Brave men, on both sides of the conflict, flying their machines in conditions which permitted no escape should they come to grief in the air.

    Interesting to note just how attached to and patriotic the U. S flyers became to their adoptive country of France. Seeking great adventures in the air, some of these young men must have faced terrifying reality once they became involved in the aerial battles. This historical narrative fit well into the genre of WWI air war. I enjoyed the story and it is corroborated by a number of similar memoirs of the LaFayette Escadrille.

    Rickenbacker's is particularly good, though writing is affected. I envy these men and their flying machines, but not the war they fought so bravely. I really like this book for its description of what it was like to be trained in a completely new way to wage war. It give a very through picture of what life was like for young men entering the First World War flying for France. The anxiety that they faced as each time they flew they were on their own not knowing whether they would live or die.

    A very remarkable book that brings our the history of that period.
