Fred Baerkircher's Reviews > Goshawk Squadron

It's a surprisingly complex novel about WWI airmen. The author was a pilot, and displays what feels like an intimate knowledge of what that life was like. These characters exhibit the blithe gallows humor evocative of the upper classes many of the pilots hailed from, and they do some pretty despicable things. The book has a MASH-like attitude towards the futility and hopelessness of the war.
