This was clearly written by a flyer with some considerable experience!
Jackson has crafted a cast of characters that draw you in, only to place them repeatedly in harms way in the most exciting and accurate dogfights. The attention detail lends itself to the immersive nature of an experience that reminds one of Deighton or Higgins.
I’ll finish by saying that I’m delighted to find I have 8 more adventures with Pilot Officer Harry Cornwall!

I don't do book reviews
I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way

Disclaimer: I know the author (through his sideline of running crazy endurance races), but this review will be unbiased!
I’m not normally one for WW2 fiction, my historical tastes are usually more Tudor in genre, but this was a rather wonderful read. Life and pandemic prevented me getting into it initially but once I had time to sit and read and get lost in the story I was hooked.
The action is fast-paced and gripping, with twists and turns right to the end. Characters are well written and relatable, and the use of a female protagonist adds a brilliant extra layer to a sparkling plot. Now.... where’s the next in the series?
