[Linden · Rating 3 out of 5]

Briskly written tale of a Spitfire squadron during the Battles of France and Britain. Doesn't pull any punches about pilots' life expectancy or the possibility of being horribly injured. Veers off towards the end into a rather surreal meditation about life and death. First one in a series. Not in the same league as Derek Robinson's Piece of Cake but good enough that I'd be interested in reading the other books.
