A pilot replacement for 633 Squadron named Chalmont puzzles Frank Adams, the station’s intelligence officer. Why should a sensitive young poet volunteer to join a squadron with a warlike reputation? Chalmont is teamed up with Richards and both show high skill and courage but when ordered on a mission which may involve the death of many civilians both airmen refuse to take part. Now they must face court-martial.
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Although Operation Safeguard was the last book written in the 633 Squadron series, the events in the story take place immediately after those in Operation Valkyrie.
Frederick E. Smith (1919-2012) joined the R.A.F. in 1939 as a wireless operator/air gunner and commenced service in early 1940, serving in Britain, Africa and finally the Far East. At the end of the war he married and worked for several years in South Africa before returning to England to fulfill his life-long ambition to write. Two years later, his first play was produced and his first novel published. Since then, he wrote over forty novels, about eighty short stories and two plays. Two novels, 633 Squadron and The Devil Doll, were made into films and one, A Killing for the Hawks, won the Mark Twain Literary Award.
Genre: Thriller
