Items related to Damned Good Show
Derek Robinson, author of the highly praised wartime novel A Piece of Cake and many others, now does for the RAF's Bomber Command what Cake did for Fighter Command: he goes beyond the clichéd stereotypes of the wartime RAF and paints an indelible picture of real people at war. The young pilots of 409 Squadron are flung into battle over Nazi Germany, where their training, tactics, and aircraft are all found wanting. Their lively spirit of gentleman amateur fliers simply flickers and dies in the harsh glare of searchlights over the Ruhr. As they struggle, the reality of war comes vividly and painfully into view: chaos, confusion, and comradeship in equal measure.
Robinson is simply the best aviation fiction writer in the business.

Review:
DAMNED GOOD SHOW has received a fantastic 5 star review in the Daily Express(28/9): "... Robinson is brilliant... The author, previously shortlisted forthe 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
