Jack and Simon, crew of the DH-4; Edith, the Red Cross nurse; Lucienne, the French farm girl; Julia, the exotic dancer; Karl, the German fighter pilot. A favorite cast of characters with some new twists. A new look at an old airplane, the World War One Era, and the Air Mail Service.
When I was a boy, I ran across a couple of old aviation adventure books my father had when he was a boy. I enjoyed reading these books and dreamed of flying old-time biplanes when aviators were folk heroes. These old books were fun to read but poorly written. I have attempted to write a better book for mature readers.
I hope a niche audience of aviation enthusiasts will enjoy reading this short book. I have included technical descriptions in the text in lieu of distracting footnotes. The book is based on actual historic events with fictional characters inserted in the timeline.
