The Shepherd is a good story, little question about that. Little doubt too about the moody illustrations. The Mosquito and its pilot were ghosts, which may explain the different radio antennae on the frontispiece and pages 34 and 35. Same thing for the different exhaust stacks. The other pilot was not a ghost, but he was a very capable fellow all the same, for on the cover he is in a Vampire variant that has non-FB5 tail fins, on the frontispiece a single seat T.11 unknown to captivity, on pages 8 and 9 in fairly clearly an FB5, on page 16 back to the single seat T.11, on page 25 hard to say, on pages 34 and 35 back to pretty much an FB5 again although the fins are approaching T.11 configuration, and on page 55 it is not easy to be sure. All this in the one flight, with bad weather too, dead radio, and low on gravy. That guy was luckier even than he knew when he met up with that Mosquito.
