Step into the storied skies of the First World War with 'War Amongst The Clouds,' a gripping account by pilot AVM Hugh Granville White. This hardback edition, measuring 148 x 210 mm with 224 pages, transports you back to an era where air combat was heroic and perilous. Experience Hugh's journey from a young aviator in the Royal Flying Corps to an ace navigating the clouds amidst fierce dogfights. With firsthand narratives of his trials—such as a dramatic mid-air collision—the book unveils the raw challenges and indomitable courage of early aviation. As squadron leader of the renowned S.E.5a, known as Britain's finest fighter aircraft, White’s unique insights and thrilling escapades illustrate the blend of luck and skill required for survival. The narrative transitions to his son's reflections, sequentially chronicling Hugh's illustrious RAF career, from thrilling missions in 1920s India to his retirement as air vice-marshal in 1955. Featuring a foreword by Sir Frederick Sowrey, this book serves not only as a homage to an extraordinary pilot but also a heartfelt reminder of the sacrifices made by young aviators amidst the backdrop of warfare. This captivating memoir is essential for history buffs and aviation enthusiasts alike.

his is a story written by a young man who trained as a pilot, and then flew with the Royal Flying Corps in France during the First World War, eventually to become an ace. It is one of survival against the odds at a time when the conduct of air operations depended so much on individual skills, innovation, courage – and luck. Hugh White flew F.E.2D Scout aircraft as a reconnaissance patrol pilot and later in the war was promoted to squadron leader of squadrons flying the S.E.5a which was Britain’s best fighter aircraft at the time. During the two years of flying, he experienced and survived a series of escapades including a dramatic mid-air collision with the enemy. Told by Hugh in his own words, he gives a unique insight into war in the air. With the break-up of his squadron and being reduced to a substantive rank – simply because of his young age, Hugh’s writing ends in 1919. From this point, the story is continued by his younger son Christopher. He describes Hugh’s life and RAF career from flying in India during the 1920s through the Second World War until his retirement as an air vice-marshal in 1955. This book includes a foreword by Sir Frederick Sowrey (Hugh’s nephew) which puts Hugh White’s early wartime service into context. It is a timely reminder, following the centenary of the end of the First World War, of the difficulties that young pilots faced at the time. A must-read for those interested in wartime exploits.

Practically perfect in every way
Style: Milky Toner
The results (in combination with other care products) have been amazing! I’m a 37yo trans-woman, who in my late 20s looked like I was in my mid 30s. My skin is much smoother than it used to be (to be fair, in addition to laser hair removal’s results), my tone is more uniform, and with more hydration is fewer wrinkled areas. This is definitely a critical part of my skin care routine, which allows me to need hardly anything for my make-up routine. Value/price is fair, and I have no issue paying that again.

Nice
Style: Milky Toner
I have tried the regular version of this toner years ago and I loved it. It was one of the few products I have used that I could actually notice a visible difference after using. I liked the texture of this one and was excited to try it. I was using Glycolic acid prior to ordering this and wasn't thrilled with my results. This one was nice because it felt nice on my skin and there was definitely no burning even if I use it on an active or open acne spot. There's no scent and the ingredients are fairly good. However, I would be lying if I said I have noticed any visible signs of it working.

As someone with very sensitive and acne prone skin, I absolutely love this toner. It doesn’t cause any irritation or any noticeable disruption to my skin barrier. It’s just a little drink of hydration for my skin and that’s really it! The ingredients are super conscious and clean too

The glow is gorgeous and not over the top
Color: 100ml #03-Bronze Gold
If you want that golden hour shimmer without looking like a disco ball, this body oil is it. I got it for a beach trip and ended up using it almost every day since. It gives your skin the prettiest bronzy glow with just enough sparkle to catch the light without feeling glittery or sticky. It blends in super smoothly and actually makes my skin look healthier. I’ve used it on my collarbones, shoulders, and even mixed a tiny bit into my foundation when I want that sun-kissed look. The scent is light and pretty too, not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts. Plus it doesn’t transfer all over my clothes, which is a major win. If you love that radiant summer look or want to fake a tan without streaks, you’ll love this. Would totally buy again. Feels like a mini vacation in a bottle.
