This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.

The format was not quite what I expected, however the content is a first person description from a participant in the 'Great War.' James Hall was a colorful character and the narrative is an excellent addition to any library on WWI. Interesting and readable.Product details

High adventure; a narrative of air fighting in France James Norman Hall Books Reviews
This is an amazing novel written during the height of the first air war. This demonstrates how the skills and traditions aerial warfare were developed. Remember these were the first to do this. James Norman Hall was not only a respected novelist of the time but also a highly decorated aviator and one of he Great Americans whose entrance to the war pre-dated that of the United States.

2.1. What I liked Casual style.
Roller-coaster or walk-in-the-park? Because it is a book about aerial combat, it should be a roller coaster, but it is more a walk in the park.
2.2. What I did not like The lack of excitement.
2.3. Who I think is the audience WWI aerial warfare history buffs.
2.4. Is the book appropriate for children to read? Yes.
2.5. On the basis of reading this book, will I buy the author's next book? No, but I will on the basis of reading his other works.
2.6. Other
This is a fictional account of Hall's service with the Lafayette Escadrille.
It read like a fictionalized diary. The organization lacked coherence. It moved slowly from getting lost on patrols to fighting le cafard in barracks. The little organization there is broke down completely once Hall was shot down and captured.
Years ago, I read Falcons of France and enjoyed it. High Adventure read like the first draft outline of Falcons of France.
I wanted to like this book, but I didn't. For free, it's worth a download.
The format was not quite what I expected, however the content is a first person description from a participant in the 'Great War.' James Hall was a colorful character and the narrative is an excellent addition to any library on WWI. Interesting and readable.
