Although 1,358 Victoria Cross medals have been received by members of the British armed forced for “gallantry in the face of the enemy” just 51 of them have been awarded to aviators.
Valour in the Air is the story of these brave airmen - ranging from the pioneering Royal Flying Corps pilots of the Great War to the bomber, fighter, transport and coastal command crews of World War Two. This 116-page bookazine reveals the background story of each pilot, navigator, bomb aimer, air gunner or wireless operator along with the heartrending tales of the specific missions that earned them the highest award of the British honours system.
