About the author

British historian Alexandra Churchill has been researching the air war for a number of years in addition to compiling a detailed roll of honor for Eton College. She has a book due out next year, telling the story of the war through the eyes of the school’s old boys and will feature the Harvey brothers who appear in episode one of The Big Dig in more detail. Other projects in the pipeline include a biography of a pilot and something that will incorporate a personal passion of hers and tell the story of football in the Great War.

Alex has previously worked with John Hayes-Fisher on an episode of Timewatch about the air war in 1918, and on "Fighting the Red Baron" and "Titanic with Len Goodman" as a researcher / contributor.

Reviews

[Mark · Rating 4 out of 5]

As of September 2016, this is a review of the preview made available, not the whole book. Having read the preview, I am really looking forward to reading the full product, primarily because of the stark contrast in the description of Will between this book, and the first (set later in the war), notably his ability to sleep anywhere here, and almost nowhere later. The difference in character is stark, even shocking, and further distinguishes the profound change his war experience has effected in him.
