After serving two years in the Infantry, MacLanachan transferred to the RFC and was posted to No. 40 Squadron in May 1917. He flew the Nieuport 17 C-1, 23, 27, and the SE 5 and SE 5a. He was posted to a home defense squadron in 1918 but only includes his service with the No. 40 Squadron in France in this book. Many respected pilots served in the No. 40 such as "Mick" Mannock, G.E.H. McElroy, "McIrish," "Zulu" Lloyd, and Tudhope. An excellent account of the philosophies and attitudes of the fighter pilots. Illustrations include photographs.
