FNH Audio presents a complete and unabridged reading of Flying for France. Covering the war-time activities of THE American Escadrille.
During World War I, before America entered the war, many Americans volunteered to fight for the French. These valiant volunteers fought in all arms of the French services and not least in the air. Formed into air units of their own, these Americans trained, fought, and died together, fighting for freedom and liberty.
This audiobook was written by one of these volunteer fighters. As well as this first-person narrative, which describes the training and the combat, the latter chapters include letters written by and between the pilots.
