| Summary | "In the Royal Naval Air Service" by Harold Rosher is a collection of war letters written in the early 20th century. The book captures the experiences of Flight Lieutenant Harold Rosher during World War I as he communicates with his family, detailing his training, missions, and the day-to-day realities of serving in the newly established air service. This personal narrative sheds light on the challenges and dangers faced by airmen, making it a significant historical account of a soldier's life at war. The opening of the book introduces Harold Rosher as he begins his training in the Royal Naval Air Service just as the war is commencing. Through poignant and lively letters, he shares his initial experiences at Brooklands Aerodrome, where he describes not only the thrill of flying lessons but also the camaraderie with fellow pilots. Rosher's youthful enthusiasm contrasts with the somber backdrop of the war, as he reflects on the challenges and dangers of flying, including a humorous yet harrowing incident of getting lost during a flight. The letters provide a rich sense of adventure and personal insight, allowing readers to grasp the significance of this air service in the context of the Great War.
