The year is 1916.
The war in the air is no longer the gentlemanly affair of the first 15 months of the First World War.
British, French and German pilots fire machine guns at each other instead of the pistols and rifles of the early days.
Stuck with their pre-war box-kites -- the BE2, Avro 504 and Farman -- the Royal Flying Corps watch helplessly as the Germans gain a temporary advantage with their superior flying machines.
By the time two new pilots, ex-infantry officer Nick Boyd and Elliot Holt, straight from the American prairies, join their fighter squadron at the Front, the life expectancy of Allied flyers has become a matter of weeks.
But surviving the war will require more than learning to fly.
The era of modern air fighting is just beginning.
As they master the spin and stall, the loop the loop and the Immelmann turn, Boyd and Holt hope to join the likes of Ball, Hawker, Nungesser, Guynemer and von Richthofen as a new breed of military hero - the flying ace.
Boyd and Holt will play a major part in winning back air domination for the Royal Flying Corps…
‘Dusk Patrol’ is the first of four books dealing with four distinct phases of the Great War, as fought by the Royal Flying Corps.

Dusk Patrol edition by Richard Townshend Bickers Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Enjoyed, and thought learnt a lot. Compared to Captain W.E. Johns more informative, but doesn't quite read as well as "Biggles Learns to fly". Dusk Patrol was better in writing information into story line. Example how pilots learnt how to get out of a "spin", "stall'.Dusk Patrol is thoughtful with dark parts, it is about WWI, which is dark, needed to make book feel authentic In Dusk Patrol some disbelief created as same group four pilots survive so much, do so well.
