Of more than 600 Victoria Crosses awarded to British and Empire servicemen during the First World War, nineteen were awarded to airmen of the newly formed Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. Of these, four were posthumous awards and all but one of the total were to officers. Some of these valorous airmen were from humble backgrounds and with limited education; others were collegiate men from wealthy families. But in the words of one senior officer they all had in common 'the guts of a lion'. Each VS winner's act of bravery is recorded here in intricate detail, along with their backgrounds and their lives after the war.

Portraits and bios of 19 World War One air VCs feature in this volume. They represent a cross section of an elite group. Most were in the fullness of youth while some were of a mature age for their dangerous profession. They all display an intensity of expression for the grim task facing them, a resolution to perform that duty whatever the odds.
