From the Publisher:

'The sheer charge of the writing swept me into another world' - H R F Keating, The Times

'It is a novel of memory, satisfying on every imaginable level, but truly astonishing In Its recreation of a time and place through minute detail. Deighton has written well of the air before, nonfictionally, and he informs us in an afterword that it took six years of research to do this novel. It shows. The only way you could know more about flying a P-51 Mustang, after reading this book, is to have flown one' - WASHINGTON POST

'He writes, as usual, with authority and a superb sense of period' - DAILY TELEGRAPH
