About this book

'War Story' is a novel. The story is set in 1916, it’s the first of three novels about the Royal Flying Corps. In the story, the character, Oliver Paxton, is an 18-year-old recruit fresh from public school. The book sustains a savagely funny and utterly convincing depiction of life in Hornet Squadron.

About the author

Derek Robinson

Robinson never flew a combat aircraft and researched everything, and the results are among the least romantic accounts of air war anybody has published. Goshawk Squadron reached the Booker shortlist in 1971 with a Royal Flying Corps commander who teaches his pilots to shoot enemies in the back because chivalry gets young men killed.
