BOOK 1: DAWN PATROL
1916. Three pilots from three different countries. Anderson, Fournol and Schonborn are all fighting in the same war, but on different sides. As air combat begins to take a pivotal role in the conflict, the arrival of a new German fighter turns the war in Germany’s favour. The three pilots are fresh out of training and the battleground in the sky will change them all forever. But will they survive to see one of their sides claim victory?
BOOK 2: THE RAGING SKIES
1917. The Germans are controlling the battle in the sky. But the Royal Flying Corps are determined to gain the upper hand with their newly introduced aircraft. First to test them in combat is Major Denny and his squadron. Denny must lead his men into war with the new weaponry after only a few weeks’ training. But the German forces are strong, and Denny’s unit prepare to face a battle that may well be their last.
BOOK 3: THE HUNTERS
1918. The longer the war drags on, the further away an Allied victory seems. The Germans take everyone by surprise with an early launch of their spring offensive and the recapture of key towns. Anderson and his crew must fight the strength of the German forces and maintain a united front. But for many this mission could be their last and Allied morale is low. Will their sacrifices be worth the end result?

Totally enjoyed the Series! The story flowed and showed the Characters grow and progress as their experiences made them become aware of the life and death of staying alive and sane in the insanity of War. The ending was left pretty much open. Is it possible there is another book coming?

RFC action WW1
A very informative story of daring young pilots in the latter months of WW1. The aircraft they flew and the risks they took. Absorbing.
