June, 1916. Fresh out of public school and setting the skies as his limit, Oliver Paxton is convinced that his king and country are relying on him to "smite the hun". Leading his first solo flight, Oliver's mission is to take a convoy of much-needed biplanes across the Channel.

Book Description:
1916: the air war begins in earnest on the eve of the Somme offensive...
From the Back Cover:
1916. Fresh from school and full of pluck, Second-Lieutenant Oliver Paxton, Royal Flying Corps, is ordered to lead a formation of urgently needed biplanes across the Channel to join Hornet Squadron in France. Five days later, he crash-lands at his destination, having lost his map, his ballast and every single plane in his charge. To his Commanding Officer he's an idiot; to everyone else - including the tormenting Australian who shares his billet - a pompous bastard. This is 1916, the year of the Somme, giving Paxton precious little time to grow from innocent to veteran.
