Beyond Courage by Norman Franks

Beyond Courage by Norman Franks

An account of the air-sea rescue operations of 283, 284, 293 and 294 Walrus Squadrons. These pilots risked their lives daily by landing on the sea to save other airmen whose planes had been shot down over the water. Rescues from the cold sea needed to be carried out very quickly.

Norman Franks is one of the world's leading authorities on World War 1 fighter aviation, having published some of the seminal works on the subject. He is currently working on a long list of volumes on Great War aces for Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series.
Greg VanWyngarden has had a lifelong interest in World War 1 aviation, and has been particularly active in deciphering the colours and markings that decorated the various German fighters flown by the leading aces. This is his third book for Osprey, having co-authored Aircraft of the Aces 40: 'Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1' (2001) and Aircraft of the Aces 53: 'Fokker D Aces of World War 1: Pt 1' (2002) with Norman Franks.
