Title: Derek Robinson's fiction books
Post by: gatt on October 30, 2000, 05:12:00 AM
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 ...   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) believe me.

"Piece of Cake" rocked for sure  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Been quite a while since I read it, will have to keep my eyes open for the others.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

"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?"
