Goshawk Squadron

really liked it

The detachment and black humor are savage, as is the aerial warfare. Major Wooley ranks with the classic antiheroes. In an afterward, the author quotes an RFC pilot that the WWI pilot's objective "was to sneak in unobserved close behind his opponent and then shoot him in the back." Extra half star for a debut novel.
