Book Reviews of the Goshawk Squadron
Customer Review: Good First Novel, But Not His Best
Summary: 3 Stars
Good novel of the knights of the air in World War I. Story of a British squadron of fighter pilots in SE-5s. Like his much better Piece of Cake (RAF in battle for France and battle of Britain) almost half of book is taken up by training and mess antics. Great dialogue but not much action until second half of book. Some dogfighting. Not as much as I'd like to have. Squadron Leader Wooley character reminds me of personality of Sgt. Stryker in Sands of Iwo Jima. Very tough on his charges but utterly determined to get them home safe from the war. Worth a read but definitely not Derek Robinson's best book.
