      The Dawn Patrol

      And other Poems of an Aviator

      PAUL BEWSHER, R.N.A.S., D.S.C.

      A new domain has been won for poetry by the war—that of the air. This is of greater importance than the bare statement suggests.... 'The Dawn Patrol' marks so notable a departure in English literature that it will in after years be eagerly sought by collectors.... Mr. Bewsher's most considerable triumph is to have been the first airman-poet to regard humanity from the detached standpoint of the sky.—Daily Graphic.
      The fable of Pegasus is come true.... Mr Bewsher never strains for effect.... The strongest impression his poems leave is of a sincere and ingenuous nature devoted to duty, but of keen sensibilities.—The Times.
