"Hennessy has done it again! Readers of his two earlier trilogies (Lion at Sea and Soldier of the Queen) will recognize the same impeccable historical research, the same adventure, intrigue, and romance in this volume. This volume is a story of relationships—between men and women and between men and the fledgling 'aeroplanes' of World War I. The book follows Nick Quinney through the ups and downs of his relationship with Annys and through his steady climb from mechanic and navigator to RAF air ace by the end of the First World War. While this is no masterpiece of
the English language, it does offer some basic entertainment and good diversion." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
