His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire series) by Naomi Novik




Captain William Laurence of the British Royal Navy has found a French Navy ship and on board was a Dragon egg due to hatch soon.
When a dragon hatches from its egg if you don't get it into harness, it's likely to fly away and become feral. Most consider becoming an aviator a bad thing, so the crew casts lots to see who is to try, the one won the lotto was unable to get the new born to pay enough attention to him and this caused Laurence some distress, the dragon stopped at him and asked why the face?

Set during the Napoleonic wars, dragons are real and used as Air forces.
