David Hewitt has been a cook, a postman, a solicitor and a judge. And he has written for a variety of publications, from The Times to When Saturday Comes. His most recent books were about a miscarriage of justice in the First World War and a silent film that was banned in half, but only half, of the country. His next one – Stack: From Moth to Viceroy – tells the story of an inter-war aviator who broke records galore but ended up in court more often than he would have liked.
