In the Teeth of the Wind: The Story of a Naval Pilot on the Western Front 1916-1918, by Squadron Leader C. P. O. Bartlett, edited by Nick Bartlett. This book is the war journal of a naval aviator who flew 101 combat missions over and around the Belgian coast, first reporting to what was known as 5 Wing RNAS during September of 1916. This unit became 5 Squadron RNAS in December of that year, and was known as such until becoming 205 Squadron RAF in April of 1918. This remarkably well-written journal covers the entire period of 5 Squadron's operation, and preserves the history of that unit in an easily read style. There are many war journals in publication, but this one is a bit different since 5 Squadron was basically a bombing squadron.
