Looking for SCI FI/Fantasy Series

[Herb]

It`s been a long time since I read, I think, number 2 in the series in paperback, but could never find any of the others. Not even sure how many there are, but it was a trilogy or better. It`s a dystonian world, sort of medieval, but they have airplanes, that I think are steam powered. Various countries/empires that wage war against each other. The young protagonist manages to become a pilot and soon a hero for his attack against a neighbouring city state. Does anyone have any idea of the series I`m referring to? Thanks.

Found it! I guess posting my request here made me search even harder, but I got lucky as well. The book I was remembering, not that accurately it seems, is The Miocene Arrow by Sean McMullen, Book two of his Greatwinter Series. Found him by a Google search on a list called "The best nine SF novels you`ve never heard of". Great list, well worth checking out.

Glad you found it. Welcome to the Chrons. Since you can't make links quite yet, here's one for anyone interested in the list:

Incidentally, I started a thread where we can add more obscure titles: Best SF Books People Have Never Heard of
