| Summary | "War Flying" by L. F. Hutcheon is a collection of letters written during World War I, likely in the early 20th century. The letters are penned under the pseudonym “Theta,” who shares his experiences as a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps, detailing both his training and active service. The writing captures the mixture of youthful optimism and the harsh realities of war, providing insights into the life of a pilot during this tumultuous time. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the author’s journey, beginning with “Theta's” early fascination with flying, as he documents his progression from a schoolboy interested in aviation to a pilot in training. The initial correspondence includes his first experiences in flight, the joy and challenges of training, and a candid look at the camaraderie among fellow pilots. These letters display Theta's cheerful demeanor, his optimism in the face of danger, and the vivid realities of wartime aviation, setting the stage for deeper explorations of life in the air and the perils faced by those who served in this capacity.
