The Bright Blue Sky

One day in 1914, a young man took to the air, and a legend was born...
Dicken Quinney never forgot that first flight in a fragile contraption of sealing-wax and string, the start of a lifelong obsession with flying.
He was to spend the next four years in the deadly cut-and-thrust of aerial dogfights over France and Italy, collecting a chestful of medals, and a reputation as one of the Great War's leading aces.
He would hone his skills in an array of aircraft, and as the war reaches its climax, he must undergo one final test in order to emerge victorious. And with his life intact.
A love letter to aviation, perfect for fans of W. E. Johns and Wilbur Smith.
