A novel by Richard Townshend Bickers
The Flanders front line in World War One.
A treacherous war zone where lives are easily lost.
The British Royal Flying Corps are finally receiving upgraded aircraft to support their fight against the German Military Aviation Service.
The trouble is, the Germans are also investing in more lethal equipment.
Three people are about to engage with the enemy.
Jack Allen, a pilot for the R.F.C. must deal with the emotions faced when his brother, Piers, enlists and is shot down by a distinctive German fighter plane.
Out for revenge, he must maintain his focus, and refine his battle strategies to prevent himself suffering the same fate.
Sepp Hartmann, a pilot for the G.M.A.S. encounters an enemy pilot who manages to escape his squadron using exceptional flying techniques and skill.
Unyielding in his plan to locate this pilot again, he will use any dirty tactics he can.

Determined to help the French and British pilots shot down behind enemy lines, she must maintain a cordial relationship with the regularly visiting German squadron.
Can Allen achieve the revenge he desperately seeks?
Can Hartmann draw out the enemy to prove his superiority?
And can the Berthelots safely support their troops?
