      1916: the air war begins in earnest on the eve of the Somme offensive...

      Fresh from school in June 1916, Lieutenant Oliver Paxton''s first solo flight is to lead a formation of biplanes across the Channel to join Hornet Squadron in France.

      Five days later, he crash-lands at his destination, having lost his map, his ballast and every single plane in his charge. To his C.O. he''s an idiot, to everyone else - especially the tormenting Australian who shares his billet - a pompous bastard.

      This is 1916, the year of the Somme, giving Paxton precious little time to grow from innocent to veteran.
