About this book
A naval officer finds flying harder to stomach than rough seas in Rolf Bennett's wartime adventure. Transferred to the Flying Wing, Frank Lawless suffers from air sickness and broods over damaged aircraft while his mechanic, Mike Cassidy, works nearby. A railway notice about paint on the Forth Bridge seems an odd distraction until a night patrol reveals strange lights below. His investigation brings him up against a commanding officer who finds his explanation unconvincing.
The action ranges from coastal reconnaissance to destroyer patrols in the North Sea, where Lawless and the younger officer Trent watch for a vessel laying mines. Their teasing exchanges sit beside urgent decisions about speed, visibility and enemy fire. Readers interested in First World War adventure will find early aircraft, guarded waterways and small warships woven into a story of initiative, professional frustration and sudden danger.
