Description
Goshawk Squadron, R.F.C., January 1918. The C.O., Woolley, indoctrinates his pilots with a simple yet savage code : shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you're there - a brisky cold blooded approach to the business of air warfare and far removed from the romance of " chivalry in the clouds ".
( ... ) Surprisingly this first novel set in the last year of a catastrophic war is not only shocking and exciting but a very funny book. Woolley may drive his men but he terrorizes the top brass ; and with his girlfriend Margery he is something else again. The author's portrait of this wild old man of twenty - three is an extraordinary success.
