y separately published work icon Aces and Kings L. W. Sutherland , Norman Ellison , Sydney : Angus and Robertson , 1935 Z1320193 1935 single work autobiography war literature The author of this exceptionally interesting book was a pilot in 67 Squadron (Australian) R.F.C., in Palestine during the war. He describes the Squadron, its life and adventures. No more interesting chapters in the literature of the war have been published than those here, on Lawrence of Arabia, Ross Smith and the "kings of Men" (in which he pays tribute to the chivalry of Felmy and other German airmen). No passage from war literature is more tragic than the author's chapter "Nine Miles of Dead", in which he describes the slaughter of two Turkish Armies by the Royal Flying Corps. Aces and Kings is an unaffected history of the Australian "Warbirds" and mingles gallant adventure, humourous incident, and vivid description. (p.1, John Hamilton publisher's blurb included in Exit Simeon Hex, 1930) London : Greenhill , 1985
