Written to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the RAF Foundationers' Trust at Christ's Hospital, this deceptively detailed and profusely illustrated account shows how Wallis's schooldays influenced his subsequent life. It covers many aspects of his career including airship, aircraft and armaments design, and his central role in the foundation of the Trust in 1951.
