Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique and visceral insight into the life of a young Royal Naval Air Service pilot during the First World War. Harold Rosher was in his early twenties and had only just qualified as a pilot when war broke out in 1914. Within weeks he was flying sorties over the Belgian coast, enduring terrifying encounters with anti-aircraft fire and enemy aircraft, and facing the constant threat of mechanical failure. Rosher's vivid letters home capture the thrill and the terror of aerial combat, as well as the camaraderie and humour that existed among the young men risking their lives on a daily basis. He served with the elite No. 1 Naval Aeroplane Squadron, which carried out some of the most daring and dangerous raids of the war. His untimely death on 20th February 1916, just weeks before his 22nd birthday, robbed the nation of a talented aviator, but his legacy lives on in these remarkable letters, which offer a rare glimpse into the world of early aviation and the sacrifices made by those who served in the First World War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332313037_0
