Synopsis
For Stanley Woolley, commanding officer of Goshawk Squadron, the romance of chivalry in the clouds is just a myth. The code he drums into his men is simple and savage: shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you¿re there. Even so, he believes the whole squadron will be dead within three months.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this is Derek Robinson¿s masterly novel of the war in the air over the Western Front in 1918.

Review
A bleak and savage book, full of the terror of warfare and shot through with grim humour; a sort of first-world-war Catch 22 (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian)
A terrific impact . . . Goshawk Squadron has the authoritative ring of a little classic on the subject of war. (Observer)
From the beginning, the feel of this book is totally authentic . . . The comedy is real, too, not gallows humour. I laughed aloud, several times. And was, in the end, reduced to tears. (Daily Telegraph)
One of the most powerful indictments of war I have ever read . . . Quietly savage, funny and heart-breaking . . . A book which must once and for all explode the myth of honourable warfare. (Sunday Telegraph)
Shocking, but by no means insensitive, this novel of Derek Robinson's is a remarkable story of war in the air. (Peter Townsend)
Book Description
Nominated for the Booker Prize, this is a quietly shocking, funny and heart-breaking indictment of war.
