When Second World War Spitfire pilot John Gillespie Magee penned his poem 'High Flight', little did he know that his words would inspire legions of aspiring aviators who had a similar wish to fly their 'eager craft through footless halls of air'. Founded on years of detailed research, Roger Cole's book tells John Magee's story, describing hitherto-unknown details of his short life, and providing insight into the inspiration for the poems that have found a unique place in history.
