The author served with the diarist as an aviator and apparently published the diary in order to honor an agreement he had with the deceased.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn MacGavock Grider, assigned to Royal Air Force Number 85 Squadron, flying SE-5a pursuit planes, was shot down and killed some twenty miles behind German lines in the summer of 1918. This is Grider's story, but in telling it he encompasses the opinions and prejudices, the successes and failures, the lives and deaths of those 210 volunteers. He details the rigors of training, the terrors of combat, and the respite of social activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\n**First image for illustrative purposes only**\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent condition, wear on covers, binding intact, pages clean and unmarked.
