The Wipers Times was a newspaper written and read by soldiers fighting in the trenches of Ypres Salient during World War One. It has been described as the Private Eye of the First World War, and is used here to give insights into the lives of the soldiers in the trenches.

The Wipers Times was a gentle, humour-filled and satirical paper which, once its codes are cracked and its riddles solved, tells an interested reader much about the characters and personalities of the men in the British Army of the First World War.

The book not only covers the most vital years in the development of the RAF in which Sir Ronald played a significant part but it is also packed with drama at high level. Not many Englishmen, let alone future Air Marshals, were ever under sentence of death at the orders of Sir Winston Churchill himself.
