Fiction

These are works of historical fiction regarding RAF fighter/bombers in WWII, from shortly before the Normandy invasion, through the battle for France, the Battle of the Bulge, and on through until the end of the war.

These are the fourth and fifth books in the five book Harry Rose Saga. I started them a couple of years ago, when I found them on Kindle Unlimited. I was a little worried that they were going to be “Tom Swift, Boy Ace” crap, but they proved to be fairly well written, and pretty decent historically.

They follow Rose from a 19 year old flying officer, fresh out of training, as he reports to a Hurricane squadron during the summer of 1940 at the height of The Battle of Britain, on through to war’s end as Wing Commander of a mixed wing of Australians and free French flying Tempests out of a base in Belgium.

In between, he flys Hurricanes, Bristol Beaufort night fighters, Typhoons and finally Tempests. I’d recommend them If you’re into this type of thing.
