| Summary | "Winning His Wings: A Story of the R.A.F." by Percy F. Westerman is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Derek Daventry, a young cadet in the Royal Air Force, who aspires to become a pilot and experience the thrills and perils of aerial warfare during the First World War. The narrative captures the enthusiasm of youthful airmen training, their camaraderie, and the challenges they face as they prepare for combat. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the bustling atmosphere of the Averleigh Training and Disciplinary School where cadets are waiting for parade. Derek, a newly entered flight cadet, navigates the challenges of military life, bonding with friends and dealing with the practicalities of cadet training. From lively banter about uniforms to serious discussions about the war, the opening portion sets the stage for Derek's journey as he moves through rigorous training, the camaraderie among cadets, and their shared determination to contribute to the war effort, all while contemplating the dangers and responsibilities that come with flight.
