"Royal Flying Corps, the Western Front, Spring, 1917. When young Norman McConnell first joined 55a Squadron his commanding officer, the aristocratic John Seymour, seemed one hell of a man...Then he fell in love with Helen, Seymour's wife, and knew the truth - his hero was a man who glorified in killing...a sadist...a man who wanted women to scream out in pain as he made love to them...Now as McConnell manoeuvres his SE5 Scout against the murderous Albatrosses of Richtofen's circus he waits for death...But Seymour takes revenge in his own way..."
"The actual descriptions of dog-fighting over the Western Front are as good as any of their kind" (Daily Telegraph)
