Olham 164 Posted January 23, 2011 Although it's 01:27 h in the night here now, I don't feel like I can sleep. So I took the book I bought some time ago, but never found patience to read yet: "Voices in Flight - Conversations with Air Veterans of the Great War" The first veteran to tell his story is Sir Herbert Thompson, who had been flying with 8 RNAS. And I must say: if this book continues to be such an easy read, and to be so very entertaining, I will be through very quickly. The typically British understatement, paired with the warm-hearted humour of Sir Herbert is a joy to read. I am already very sure, that this book will get me more into flying the British side, too. It is impossible to feel distant or remote to this veteran. I forgot completely, that I would, back in those days, have been on the other side. He simply took me by the hand and led me right into being a British aviator. Very good read so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted January 23, 2011 Gee Whiz, Olham. . . You built me up and then you shot the legs off my stool. I thought it was a link to some additional audio interviews. Like are featured in CREDITS on the main page Hihihi - well, sometimes, UncleAl, it may be necessary to use what you have learned in school: to read a book. (Perhaps there are at least CDs somewhere, containing these interview recordings?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
