War Story Derek Robinson MacLehose Press

Fresh from school in June 1916, Lieutenant Oliver Paxton\'s first solo flight is to lead a formation of biplanes across the Channel to join Hornet Squadron in France. Five days later, he crash-lands at his destination, having lost his map, his ballast and every single plane in his charge. To his C.O. he\'s an idiot, to everyone else - especially the tormenting Australian who shares his billet - a pompous bastard. This is 1916, the year of the Somme, giving Paxton precious little time to grow from innocent to veteran. Σελίδες: 336, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0501, Διαστάσεις: 13.1x13.1cm
