A story that grips the reader with its quiet veracity, its truth to character, its understanding of the young man of the R.A.F and the nature of their job, of the so much owing so many to so few. The story has pace and excitement, unforced sentiment and wholly unaffected gaiety...Alive, humourous and finely restrained in feeling throughout...fascinating descriptions of Service operations...thrilling and eloquent

A admirably good story, full of drama and good humour

A good simple story...genuinely moving

Direct, simple, wholly free from highfalutin nonsense and entirely charming

Exciting reading of war on land and in the air
