At the centre of the novel are two young men: the deeply reserved Captain Jamie Farebrother, estranged son of a deskbound colonel, and the cocky Lieutenant Mickey Morse, well on his way to becoming America's Number One Flying Ace.

Notă biografică
Len
Deightonwas
born
in
1929
in
London.
He
did
his
national
service
in
the
RAF,
went
to
the
Royal
College
of
Art
and
designed
many
book
jackets,
including
the
original
UK
edition
of
Jack
Kerouac'sOn
the
Road.
The
enormous
success
of
his
first
spy
novel,The
IPCRESS
File(1962),
was
repeated
in
a
remarkable
sequence
of
books
over
the
following
decades.
These
varied
from
historical
fiction
(Bomber,
perhaps
his
greatest
novel)
to
dystopian
alternative
fiction
(SS-GB)
and
a
number
of
brilliant
non-fiction
books
on
the
Second
World
War
(Fighter,
BlitzkriegandBlood,
Tears
and
Folly).
His spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour. They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil. Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.

Recenzii
It
is
a
novel
of
memory,
satisfying
on
every
imaginable
level,
but
truly
astonishing
in
its
recreation
of
a
time
and
place
through
minute
detail
...
The
only
way
you
could
know
more
about
flying
a
P-51
Mustang,
after
reading
this
book,
is
to
have
flown
one.
He writes, as usual, with authority and a superb sense of period.
The sheer charge of the writing swept me into another world all the while I was reading, and now that piece of the past is a piece in my mind.
