Description
The Way of the Eagle by Charles J. Biddle is a vivid and personal memoir of aerial combat during World War I, written by one of America’s pioneering fighter pilots. First published in 1919, the book offers a firsthand account of Biddle’s experiences flying with both the French and American air services, capturing the courage, chaos, and transformation of early air warfare. Biddle, a Princeton-educated lawyer who volunteered to fight before the U.S. officially entered the war, began his service with the French Lafayette Flying Corps before transferring to the American 103rd Aero Squadron. His narrative traces the development of aerial tactics, the challenges of flying fragile aircraft under fire, and the intense camaraderie between pilots. Told with clarity, honesty, and dry wit, Biddle’s memoir combines thrilling action with thoughtful reflection. He details not only dogfights and missions, but also the emotional weight of war—the losses, the fear, and the exhilaration of flight. His writing captures the spirit of the “knights of the air,” while offering a grounded perspective on the realities of combat. The Way of the Eagle remains a classic of aviation literature, providing valuable historical insight and a compelling human story from one of the earliest generations of combat aviators.
