No empty chairs : the short and heroic lives of the young aviators who fought and died in the First World War
Mackersey, Ian, 1925-2012
Books
Ian Mackersey has reconstructed the first great air war through the lives of the participants. As they waited to die, they shared their loneliness, their fears, triumphs - and squadron gossip - with the families who lived in daily dread of the knock on the door that would bring the War Office telegram in its fateful green envelope.
