An exciting tale of a lifetime in aviation, a lifetime of remarkable adventures from the early days of flying in World War 1 aircraft without brakes, withour proper engine control, without instruments, where the aeroplanes killed more pilots than the enemy. On through a forced landing in a small English field of ripe barley to three years of adventure in the Iraqi desert where the author made exciting explorations.

Frederick Weston's lifetime in aviation will prove a fascinating read to all those interested in the history and development of aircraft during the century.
