Description

Eric Crundall joined the Royal Naval Air Service for training as a pilot in June 1916, served in No 8 (N) Squadron and then in the newly created RAF until the end of the war.

This is the day to day diary of his patrols flying triplanes, and then Sopwith Camels. He recounts in simple but graphic detail the dog-fights, the kills and the losses.

Historian Chaz Bowyer has written editorial notes to the text, identifying the personalities referred to on both sides of the conflict, thus setting this valuable diary in its broad perspective. Over 50 vintage B & W photographs
