High Flight

The Life and Poetry of Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee

Roger Cole
In August 1941, weeks before his death in a mid-air collision, 19-year-old fighter pilot John Gillespie Magee wrote ‘High Flight’ (‘Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth’), a poem now beloved by aviators. This book combines Magee’s collected verse with a biography that follows him from schooldays at Rugby and in America to his training with the Royal Canadian Air Force and return to England to fight Nazism.
