About the Book

Suffused with the romance of flight and the harsh realities of aerial combat, Rogers’s letters to his fiancée, Isabelle Young, vividly detail his wartime experiences against a lethal and elusive opponent exemplified by the likes of Baron von Richthofen’s Flying Circus.

Of the three hundred-plus Americans who joined the British air corps in 1917, only Rogers and two dozen other volunteers became “aces” by shooting down five or more German planes. He himself claimed six “kills” in fighting during the Second Battle of the Marne, the Somme Offensive, Cambrai, Ypres-Lys, and six other major engagements.

About the Author :
John H. Morrow, Jr., is Franklin Professor of History at the University of Georgia and the author of The Great War in the Air and German Air Power in World War I.

Earl Rogers, Bogart’s son and a former naval aviator, still flies his own plane. He is a consulting civil engineer and freelance writer for In Flight USA and has written for Flying Magazine and other journals.

Review :
“Incontestably, Bogart Rogers had a way with words; his lively style is ideal for relating the adventures of a young man caught up in the world’s first air war. Where many other airmen struggled to convey the wonders of early flight, Bogart provides a deft and vivid portrait of life in the cockpit. It should appeal especially to the considerable readership of aviation buffs and military history aficionados.” —Lee Kennett, author of The First Air War, 1914–1918.
