What is World War One Flying Age about?

Hardit Singh Malik, a devout Sikh, arrived in England at 14 for schooling. Facing prejudice, he defended his turban and pursued studies at Oxford, excelling in cricket. During WWI, denied combat roles, he aimed to join the French air force. A former teacher's intervention led to an 'honorary' commission in the Royal Flying Corps, where he flew Sopwith Camels over Passchendaele, confronting the Red Baron. This true story highlights resilience and determination amidst adversity.
