Over 9 books, they follow the life of RAF pilot Harry Cornwall through WW2. Book One starts in France in Spring 1940 and covers the Battle of France and the retreat and evacuation from Dunkirk.

The following books include: the Battle of Britain, the early defence of Malta,(including Faith, Hope and Charity. Any author that does that has to worth a read), a flag waving tour of the USA, a second tour in Malta(flying reconnaissance in Martin Marylands and Spitfires), a tour on Mosquitoes and flying Lysanders into occupied France. A posting to a Tempest Sqn, a secondment to an American P38 Sqn to mention just a few of the plot lines.

They are available in the Amazon Kindle store and as soon as you look at the link you’ll see that there is a HUGE twist in the tale.

However, I found the author’s style of writing very immersive, so give them a try.

Given that twist, I think it would be hard to actually read them with any kind of seriousness.
