Fighters Up

Fighters Up

The year is 1940. <br /> <br />Pilot Officer Howard has been flying Hurricanes as war draws closer. <br /> <br />Now, with the conflict underway, he is looking forward with confidence to taking on the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt 109s heading for Britain's shores. <br /> <br />But his Wing Commander has taken against him and in an act of petty retribution sends him to defend Norway in an campaign where RAF casualties are high. <br /> <br />Howard survives but in Wing Commander Northam he has a bitter enemy. <br /> <br />First as his Wing Leader after the Battle of Britain, and ultimately, and then as a group captain, once again his station commander, Northam seemed intent on proving him unsuited for leadership. <br /> <br />And when Howard, as a newly promoted flight commander, and with 12 kills to his credit, comes back into Northam's baleful clutches in 1942, matters reach a crisis which will make or break his career… <br /> <br />‘Fighters Up’ is a full-throttle WWII fighter pilot adventure story, rich in authentic period detail. <br /> <br />It is perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Jack Higgins. <br /> <br />'A thrilling page turner.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Trade Off'. <br /> <br />Richard Townsend Bickers volunteered for the RAF on the outbreak of the second world war and served, with a Permanent Commission, for eighteen years.
