Step into the storied skies of the First World War with 'War Amongst The Clouds,' a gripping account by pilot AVM Hugh Granville White. This hardback edition, measuring 148 x 210 mm with 224 pages, transports you back to an era where air combat was heroic and perilous. Experience Hugh's journey from a young aviator in the Royal Flying Corps to an ace navigating the clouds amidst fierce dogfights. With firsthand narratives of his trials—such as a dramatic mid-air collision—the book unveils the raw challenges and indomitable courage of early aviation. As squadron leader of the renowned S.E.5a, known as Britain's finest fighter aircraft, White’s unique insights and thrilling escapades illustrate the blend of luck and skill required for survival. The narrative transitions to his son's reflections, sequentially chronicling Hugh's illustrious RAF career, from thrilling missions in 1920s India to his retirement as air vice-marshal in 1955. Featuring a foreword by Sir Frederick Sowrey, this book serves not only as a homage to an extraordinary pilot but also a heartfelt reminder of the sacrifices made by young aviators amidst the backdrop of warfare. This captivating memoir is essential for history buffs and aviation enthusiasts alike.Delivery Information: We are pleased to offer combined shipping.

his is a story written by a young man who trained as a pilot, and then flew with the Royal Flying Corps in France during the First World War, eventually to become an ace. It is one of survival against the odds at a time when the conduct of air operations depended so much on individual skills, innovation, courage – and luck. Hugh White flew F.E.2D Scout aircraft as a reconnaissance patrol pilot and later in the war was promoted to squadron leader of squadrons flying the S.E.5a which was Britain’s best fighter aircraft at the time. During the two years of flying, he experienced and survived a series of escapades including a dramatic mid-air collision with the enemy. Told by Hugh in his own words, he gives a unique insight into war in the air. With the break-up of his squadron and being reduced to a substantive rank – simply because of his young age, Hugh’s writing ends in 1919. From this point, the story is continued by his younger son Christopher. He describes Hugh’s life and RAF career from flying in India during the 1920s through the Second World War until his retirement as an air vice-marshal in 1955. This book includes a foreword by Sir Frederick Sowrey (Hugh’s nephew) which puts Hugh White’s early wartime service into context. It is a timely reminder, following the centenary of the end of the First World War, of the difficulties that young pilots faced at the time. A must-read for those interested in wartime exploits.

so elegant but best for softer foods
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
I am impressed with this gold silverware. I was surprised because they are very light, but they are also elegant. The handles are a little longer than the usual plasticware, so holding them, using them to eat, made me feel like the meal was elevated. These would be perfect at a garden party, a brunch, a fancy picnic. I love that there are equal numbers of knives, forks, and spoons, and they would look beautiful at place settings, or just tossed into glasses for people to grab what they need.
My one misgiving about recommending these for any occasion is the knife. It’s just not sharp, and like the other pieces, it is lightweight. It’s great for spreading butter onto a roll and could cut through soft foods like pasta or cake. But any attempt to cut through a piece of meat or a starchy vegetable that’s just lightly cooked will result in the knife snapping in half. But if you’re serving relatively soft foods (brunch would be perfect!), then this is an elegant, easy solution to feed a lot of people while keeping cleanup to a minimum.
