By 1917 bombing was a key weapon in the air arsenal of both sides. But how did they do it, and was it effective? Pete and Gary continue the stories of the men of the Royal Flying Corps, based on their new book, Laugh or Fly.

Pete and Gary continue the stories of the men of the Royal Flying Corps, based on their new book, Laugh or Fly.
