Gentlemen (and ladies)...
Since this seems to be the week for revealing the psuedonyms of the authors of some of our favorite wartime fact-as-fiction aviation books, anyone know who wrote this ? It's author was supposively from Montclair and enlisted with his brother after their parents were killed aboard the Lusitania. "Flight" as later shot down and sent to hospital, then invalided home. All fiction ? Or based in fact ? Again, thanks in advance,

Probably no need to confirm but Noffsinger in his book WW1 Aviation Books in English attributes 'Flight' to Henry Augustine Bruno. Regards Tony (Ehrenpries) |

Thanks for the update(s). I did manage to find a newspaper article from 1915 which corroborated the opening chapter about "Flight" 's parents being killed on the Lusitania.
Seems both brothers joined up right after that incident. I'm still searching for which unit(s) they may have served with. I have found nothing on Harry Bruno ins spite of the fact that he was reportedly injured which ended his service.
