Dawn Patrol (The Victory Trilogy Book 1)

Dawn Patrol (The Victory Trilogy Book 1)

December 1916.

The Allies have finally achieved aerial domination over the enemy.

But the pendulum is swinging back in the Germans' favour, with the emergence of a devastating new fighter, the Albatros, and the growing obsolescence of the slower Sopwith Pup and the outgunned Nieuport 17.

Three raw pilots have arrived at the Western Front: Anderson, to join the Royal Flying Corps; Fournol, to join l'Aviation Militaire; and Schonborn, to join Die Deutschen LuftstreitkrÃ¤fte.

They are very different men in their background and character.

But the impact of air combat and the fate of other pilots is about to change all of them.

While in their private, romantic lives, they about to experience both happiness and misery.

But they all have the war in common.

How men and machines adjust to the pressures of swiftly changing demands is absorbingly recounted against a historically accurate backcloth of the contemporary events in the campaign on the ground: culminating in the badly planned Battle of Arras, in which tanks went into action for the first time.

This novel bears all the popular Richard Townsend Bickers hallmarks of technical accuracy, factual authenticity, acute characterisation, profound knowledge of air fighting, humour and good prose.

Dawn Patrol was previously published as Dawn Readiness and is the first book in The Victory Trilogy saga.
