To swing the tide of the war, he must take to the air once again.It
was 1916. The First World War had still two years to run. Martin
Falconer, at eighteen an experienced pilot with service in France
to his credit, was kicking his heels in England, awaiting another
posting to the Front. Throughout the spring he watched the progress
of the war, especially the war in the air, acknowledging to himself
the German's superiority. Their machines were better, and they had
produced the war's best-known hero of the air, the Red Baron.
British machines were poor, morale was low, and the odds were
stacked against them. Finally, at the beginning of April, Martin
was sent again to France - but this was the month that became known
as Bloody April, when a pilot's life-expectancy was two weeks, and
Martin found himself in a unit demoralised and ill-managed. John
Harris's sombre picture of Britain at war is as compelling as only
the truth can be, perfect for fans of W. E. Johns, Alexander
Fullerton and David Black.
