The average life expectancy of a Royal Flying Corps pilot in the Great War was 3 weeks. For Pilot Officer Croft, shining with youth and idealism, it was a glorious adventure extending the loyalties and friendships of his schooldays. For Squadron Leader Gresham, hardened and cynical after a year's desperate survival, it meant ragged nerves, grim death and despair as he watched young heroes eagerly flying to their own destruction. Aces High is the story of Croft, Gresham and the men of the 76th Squadron - a vivid evocation of the death and despair of a generation set against the murderous chivalry of the first great aerial conflict.
