History book about Lionel Morris by Jill Bush.

This book is about Lionel Morris, a young British pilot in World War I, who joined the Royal Flying Corps and served on the Western Front. In September 1916, during a battle over Bapaume, Morris’s squadron was attacked by a German unit that included Manfred von Richthofen, later known as the Red Baron. Morris was shot down and killed, becoming Richthofen’s first confirmed aerial victory. Morris’s story is a reminder of the many unsung heroes of World War I and the human cost of war.
