Question "Piece of Cake" by Derek Robinson

I am curious to know this group's opinions of the novel "Piece of Cake," a fictionalized history of a Hurricane Squadron in the early months of WWII.

It seems to me to be an impressive accomplishment, but I am a non-pilot and merely a diletante reader of history.

I have done some modest research on a few of the technical and historical points in the book which happened to interest me and found that it proved to be remarkably accurate. Nonetheless, some artistic license and just plain error must have crept in.

What are your thoughts?

I notice at least six other titles credited to Mr. Robinson. Any recommendations, good or bad?
