Synopsis
They had joined an organisation that advertised itself as ¿the best flying club in the world¿. Now the young pilots of 409 Squadron are flung into battle over Germany where their training, tactics and aircraft are all found sadly wanting. The spirit of the gentleman amateur flickers and dies in the harsh glare of searchlights over the Ruhr. We see the reality of war: chaos, cock-up and comradeship in equal measure. Derek Robinson reinforces his reputation as the best aviation fiction writer in the business with this tragi-comic story.

Review
DAMNED GOOD SHOW has received two fantastic national reviews: "... Robinson is brilliant... The author, previously shortlisted for the Booker Prize, should be mentioned in the same breath as Mailer, Ballard or Heller; the more so because it does not undermine in any way the personal heroism of the fliers. Flying is hard to write about, but Robinson never loses his way, or his dry eye. A masterpiece." Paul Pickering DAILY EXPRESS (5 star review) "a superb character called Skelton....tough, taut prose that pulls you through the book like a steel cable, close-up examination of the details of pilots' duties, theacrid tang of veracity." Nick Lezard THE GUARDIAN
Book Description
