Well,
I'm reading "Hornet's Sting" by D.Robinson. I've red his "Piece of Cake", "Goshawk Squadron" and "A Good Clean Fight" as well.

They are great books. My advice is: go and get them ("Piece of Cake" is probably the best) ASAP. Yes, its fiction, but sometimes WWI and WWII air combat fighting and feelings are better depicted there ...

believe me.

"Piece of Cake" rocked for sure

Been quite a while since I read it, will have to keep my eyes open for the others.

Read his "War Story" once. It was very nice. But I've never managed to locate those that u mention, Gatt.

"Pice of cake" was probably the only thing worth seeing on swedish TV the last fifteen years. I loved Moggys' comment upon hearing that his abandoned spit crashed in a village, killing a bunch of people;

"Well, they couldn't fly spitfires, could they?"
