The Victors

Martin Falconer Thrillers #3

by Max Hennessy

Martin Falconer had one big would they let him fly again?Grounded in England at the beginning of 1918, it was a struggle, for escaped prisoners of war weren't generally allowed to return to the front, butMartin pestered the authorities and, at last, found himself back in France.But the character of the war was changing. Everyone had suddenly become efficiency-conscious, and the freedom of choice which he had valued so much in his life as a pilot was disappearing. Martin had to settle down to the grim, monotonous business that aerial warfare had now become.It was work that took a terrible toll on the nerves, even of someone as young and strong as he was. He longed to be able to solve the problem, and for the war to be over, so that he could start to find out what he really wanted from life.A gripping story, totally convincing in its portrayal of the ordeals and rewards of flying in the First World War, for fans of Alexander Fullerton and W. E. Johns.

A good addition to the series, this covers the end of the war in 1918. It illustrates the cost to human endurance after four years of warfare, the split in attitudes between those at home and the servicemen at the front.
