High Adventure A Narrative of Air Fighting in France is a riveting tale by James Norman Hall, brought to life from the confines of a German POW camp in 1918. The book, a thrilling narrative, has a raw and authentic feel, as it was still a work in progress when Hall was captured behind enemy lines. However, this did not deter him from creating an engrossing account of his experiences. Prior to his capture, Hall served for over a year with the British Expeditionary Forces, surviving the Battle of Loos, an event that inspired his acclaimed work, “Kitchener’s Mob”. Even before the US entered the war in April 1917, Hall had been serving alongside British and French forces for nearly three years. His journey as a machine gunner with the British and a pilot in the Lafayette Escadrille is filled with peril and excitement. Halls vivid descriptions of pilot training in the French Air Corps, where students learned control in solo flights without an instructor, and his exhilarating experiences of early flight and air combat provide a captivating read. Narrator Mike Vendetti found the book so compelling, he finished it ahead of schedule.
