Hawker VC - The First RFC Ace Hawker Tyrrel M.
The brother of Lanoe Hawker VC DSO as a tribute wrote this fascinating book. After the Central Flying School he crossed to France in October 1914 with 6 Squadron equipped with BE2s and Henri Farmans. The Hawkers came from a distinguished sporting family with strong military and naval records and Lanoe from the outset set his sights on flying for the RFC.
He was rapidly promoted and given command of 24 Squadron. As the war in the air progressed so Hawker came more and more into his own both as a combat pilot and commander. He, like other pilots, flew numerous machines such as Bristol Scouts, FE4227s and the famous DH2s.
This book contains many combat reports by pilots of their missions and these make the most graphic reading. The relative merits, qualities and characteristics of the aircraft both British, French and German are discussed with pilots' opinions. For a better insight into
