Coppens was one of Belgium’s top flying aces during World War I “credited with 37 confirmed victories and six probables.” Coppens originally wrote Days on the Wing in 1931 as a memoir of his service in World War I. In the late 1960s he reworked the piece and it was eventually reissued as Flying in Flanders in 1970. Coppens used this copy of Days on the Wing to write extensive notes for the new edition. The book also includes typed and photocopied notes and rewrites throughout the manuscript. Notes are featured in the original book with additions word changes and crossed out footnotes among other changes.

Coppens flew his first combat mission on May 1 1917 in a “Sopwith 1½ Strutter two seater.” After numerous aerial victories Coppen’s final mission resulted in a crash where his leg was amputated.
