The Ideals And Training Of A Flying Officer by Roderick Maciennan

Maclennan's beautifully naive writing vividly brings to life the spirit of the times when the world was opening up to these 'gentlemen' pilots, and reveals another aspect of the golden age of aviation and the glorious language of the times. Hidden in the archives of his Canadian University, these extracts from the letters of 2nd Lieutenant Maclennan, can finally be revealed in celebration of the 90th anniversary of the end of that Great War.
MacLennan, Roderick: - The son of a Canadian lawyer, Roderick Ward Maclennan joined the University of Toronto's Officer's Training Corps in 1915. Enlisting in Kingston he crossed the Atlantic in 1916 with the Medical Service. Commissioned to the Royal Flying Corps, he trained in Oxford on the BE 2b.
