Hornet's Sting Book

It's 1917 and Captain Stanley Woolley joins an R.F.C. squadron whose pilots are starting to fear the worst: their war over the Western Front may go on for years. A pilot's life is usually short so while it lasts it is celebrated strenuously. Distractions from the brutality of the air war include British nurses; eccentric Russian pilots; bureaucratic battles over the plum-jam ration; rat-hunting with Very pistols; and the C.O.'s patent potent cocktail known as 'Hornet's Sting'. But as the summer offensives boil up none of these can offer any lasting comfort.Read More
