This book, is about as subtle as a brick in the face. It is raw, immediate and a great read. McIntosh, the author, is the terrified Canadian Alligator (Navigator) forced to fly with his crazy Jewish American pilot, a man desperately trying to wreak terrible vengeance upon an enemy he can't find. He drags a very unwilling McIntosh all across Europe in the hope of shooting something and the way he goes about dealing with his various frustrations at not succeeding to do so is very funny. They make a perfect team. McIntosh constantly so terrified he can't speak, Sid cool as mustard, even when the stick is ripped from his hand in a low level stall. They flew 41 missions, most at low level, mainly in the dark. This would be a fantastic bit of fiction, but the very fact that it isn't makes it all the more superb.
