John H. Morrow, Jr., is Franklin Professor of History at the University of Georgia and the author of The Great War in the Air and German Air Power in World War I. Earl Rogers, Bogart’s son and a former naval aviator, still flies his own plane. He is a consulting civil engineer and freelance writer for In Flight USA and has written for Flying Magazine and other journals.

“Incontestably, Bogart Rogers had a way with words; his lively style is ideal for relating the adventures of a young man caught up in the world’s first air war. Where many other airmen struggled to convey the wonders of early flight, Bogart provides a deft and vivid portrait of life in the cockpit. It should appeal especially to the considerable readership of aviation buffs and military history aficionados.” —Lee Kennett, author of The First Air War, 1914–1918.
