The Fledgling

By Charles Nordhoff

This intriguing work begins with the writer's letters describing his experiences as an ambulance driver at the Front with a French unit in 1917. He then entertains the reader with some revealing and insightful views on his experiences as a trainee pilot and later as a frontline fighter pilot in the French Aéronautique Militaire.
