Endure the Dawn

Aviation was in its infancy in World War One. Men of iron threw their rickety planes of wood and fabric around the sky furiously. Thousands died in combat, but heroes rose up as well. The daring exploits of aces captivated folks back home. Chivalry and horrific death joined hands in an era that will never be seen again. Enamored with these knights of the sky and frustrated by America's isolationism, Jimmy Arneson and Hank Jacobs volunteer for the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. Thrust into the melee, each must fight his own battles. Their enduring friendship will be tested in the dawn of flight.

About the Author
Dave Bly has been an inveterate airplane nut since he was seven years old when his dad brought home plastic models of the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle and an F-101 Voodoo for them to build together. As a youth, Dave loved flying around western Pennsylvania with his dad in Cessna 172s and Piper Cherokees. He found his idols not on baseball cards, like his buddies, but in the memoirs of fighter aces from World Wars One and Two. Failing his own military flight physical from color blindness, Dave enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, served with the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing, and later became a private pilot. He now lives on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound. www.davidably.com
