The autobiography of 2nd Lieut. Robert Raymond Money, from his service with No.12 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps in 1915, to the end of his Short Term Commission in the fledgling Royal Air Force post-war.

Flying first as an observer with No.12 Squadron in France, he trained as a pilot and later served with the same same unit in this capacity.

Shot down behind enemy lines during a disastrous bomb raid in September 1916, he spent the remainder of the conflict in a succession of prisoner-of-war camps in Germany.

After his repatriation to the United Kingdom, he opted to return to his army regiment. With them, he saw active service in Ireland, at the beginnings of the I.R.A.'s campaign against the British forces.

Returning to the R.A.F. on a short service commission, he became an instructor with the Fleet Air Arm, based mainly in Scotland.
