Review Quotes:
"Incontestably, Bogart Rogers had a way with words; his lively style is ideal for relating the adventures of a young man caught up in the world's first air war. Where many other airmen struggled to convey the wonders of early flight, Rogers provides a deft and vivid portrait of life in the cockpit."--Lee Kennett, author of The First Air War, 1914-1918
"Rogers was a sensitive and sensible observer who wrote well even at this early stage of his literary career. His letters chronicle his maturation in the terrible crucible of the air war."--David F. Trask, author of The AEF and Coalition Warmaking, 1917-1918
