The exploits of a famous squadron during the Great War in Europe
The principal account in this book concerns the experiences of British observer flying in Bristol fighter aircraft with No. 20 Squadron over the Western Front during the First World War. Any reader interested in this early period of aircraft warfare will not be disappointed with Walter Noble's story.It launches into action from its first pages as its author recounts many personal adventures and riveting recollections of aerial combat with the German enemy.No 20 Squadron operated for most of the war from its base in the St. Omer sector.The squadron claimed over 600 combat victories, including the first British wounding of, 'The Red Baron', Manfred von Richthofen.Members of the squadron were awarded 71 gallantry awards, including a posthumous Victoria Cross. The Bristol aircraft in its several iterations was a stalwart of the RFC/RAF.It continued in service with the RAF until 1932 when 20 Squadron last flew them whilst serving in India. The second piece of this book is an interesting account by the Bristol's designer, Frank Barnwell.
