Kevin Duncan's first year at university didn't go as he'd hoped. He didn't get laid and the trip abroad he'd planned didn't happen because his friends were all broke. He decided to use the money on an expensive escort instead. Even this doesn't go to plan - his session is interrupted by thugs and his escort might not be as she appears.

This is the story of John Edwards, a fighter pilot in WW1, his combat experiences, and his romance with Connie Butler, a Red Cross worker. Most of the story involves a little-known, but very important, battle against the German observation balloons.

Every infantryman in WW1 had nothing but praise for the guts of the balloon busters.
