I remember reading Goshawk Squadron when it came out many years ago and thinking it was very good at thetime

He used to be on Radio Bristol many years ago as well as being a co-writer on the Krek Waiter Speak Bristle series of books. Never read any of the "aero" books, but they have the reputation of being gritty, no holds barred accounts of what it was really like from reviews I've seen.
