SYNOPSIS: 392 pages.
From front jacket flap: "Out of the author's front-line experiences comers this memorable story of an air fighter-and a girl-in battle-torn Greece and Crete. It is a profoundly moving novel of a young man's struggle to survive in the face of death and destruction. The air action is breath-taking, the romance is deeply touching, the people are unforgettable. James Aldridge is the one novelist who knows and dares to tell how badly the "brass hats" have bungled the war, but how the men who face death have discovered some truths for themselves and are going to win despite any red tape or gold braid."
