Title: A Clumsy Introduction to Jake Grafton
Review: Flying heroics by Jake Grafton, a Navy pilot on secondment to a Marine naval squadron. Many of the flying scenes are really gripping, but the book is filled with nut by nut descriptions of aircraft, steam launchers, landing techniques and you name it.After a while these lengthy narratives have you skipping to get to the next action or personal scene. Even his cynical Bombardier-Navigator is employed as a very obvious timeline to his acceptance in the squadron.Worth reading if you like technical detail, or are just a Jake Grafton fan, but as a coherent novel it is clumsy indeed.
