The Raging Skies
(2015)(The second book in the Victory Trilogy series)
A novel by Richard Townshend Bickers
It is the summer of 1917.
The Royal Flying Corps, with its Camels and SE5As, are wrestling air supremacy from the Germans.
A supremacy the Germans will never be able to regain.
The Germans have developed an improved Albatros, which has previously been the scourge of the British and French, and are hastily producing the agile Fokker Triplane.
But, with their Nieuport 17s and newly introduced and incredibly fast Spad 13s, the Aviation Militaire are gaining the upper hand over the enemy.
Against a backdrop of fierce aerial battles, intense rivalries and changing tactics, 'The Raging Skies' follows the lives and conquests of three war-time pilots.
Anderson, from the British Royal Flying Corps; Fournol, from the l'Aviation Militaire; and Schonborn from Die Deutschen Luftstreitkrafte.
Their three very different lives are brought together by the brutality of war.
The Raging Skies is the second book in The Victory Trilogy. It follows on from Dawn Patrol.
