The Wings of the Wind

'With plenty of action on land and in the air, this highly readable novel highlights some key events of the Royal Naval Air Service.' Rear Admiral Iain Henderson, CB, CBE, DL, former Flag Officer Naval Aviation and Air Officer Commanding 3 Group RAF

Paul Miller is the third son of Captain William Miller VC, a director of the Navy's Intelligence Department. Forever in debt, a rogue and a prankster, Paul's irresponsibility frequently clashes with his father's high moral standards. After meeting Wing Commander Charles Samson, the Royal Navy's pioneer aviator, Paul joins the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). When war breaks out, he is one of Samson's hastily formed RNAS Armoured Car Squadron in France and Belgium, mounting daring attacks on the German cavalry - but not before an irresponsible action that will later cause a huge rift with his father.
>The Wings of the Wind is the third of Shaun Lewis's thrilling and historically accurate WW1 naval thrillers following the lives of the Miller family - this time portraying the thrills and spills of the early days of naval aviation and the part played by the Royal Navy in the development of armoured fighting vehicles.
