Sagittarius Rising Zusammenfassung

Sagittarius Rising Cecil Lewis

Sent to France with the Royal Flying Corps at just 17, and later a member of the famous 56 Squadron, Cecil Lewis was an illustrious and passionate fighter pilot of the First World War, described by Bernard Shaw in 1935 as 'a thinker, a master of words, and a bit of a poet'. In this vivid and spirited account, the author evocatively sets his love of the skies and flying against his bitter experience of the horrors of war, as we follow his progress from France and the battlefields of the Somme, to his pioneering defence of London against deadly night time raids.

Sagittarius Rising Bewertungen

'There is not a dull page' - The Times 'Classic... the definitive account of aerial combat - full of passion and poetry.' - Max Arthur, Independent 'One of the great classics of the war and flying.' - Andrew Linklater, Daily Mail 'This is a book everyone should read. - New Statesman 'Magical evocation of the lonely battle fought in the clouds.' - The Daily Telegraph 'This is a book everyone should read. It is the autobiography of an ace, and no common ace either. The boy had all the noble tastes and qualities, love of beauty, soaring imagination, a brilliant endowment of good looks... this prince of pilots... had a charmed life in every sense of the word' - George Bernard Shaw
