Goshawk Squadron by Derek Robinson
Goshawk Squadron by Derek Robinson
follows the exploits of a fighter squadron during the latter stages of the First World War. This is very much in the war is surreal school of historical fiction. It is extremely dark. Farce is seemingly everywhere. The constant specter of violent death not just from the enemy but from flying itself. This was nominated for the Booker Prize.
Highly recommended!
