Born to a world of patriotism and privilege, James
Caulfield thought he understood the difference between
cowardice and courage. He thought he understood a lot of
things. As the First World War ignites across Europe,
eighteen year old James leaves the playing fields of
Rugby School to join the Royal Flying Corps as a pilot.
The spirit of gentlemanly amateurism that distinguishes
the early months of the airborne conflict, gives way to
an encroaching darkness as the British realise their
flimsy planes and inadequate weaponry are no match for a
prepared and determined enemy. Outgunned and outclassed
a handful of young pilots on the cusp of manhood fight
desperately to hold back the tide of war. As the
squadron’s casualties mount, James comes to question the
very meaning of sacrifice. Are the burnt blackened
bodies of his friends really those of heroes or the
inevitable result of a callous and indifferent allied
leadership? Is honour anything more than just a
platitude used to fool men into suicidal bravery? In
this exciting and emotionally charged novel, Leon Hughes
turns the lens from the outer drama of war to the inward
struggle of the human spirit to survive, asking us what,
above all, is worth dying for?
