Negative Positive
Title: Average historical fiction marred by numerous errors
Review: The plot and characterization of this WW2 thriller are handled reasonably competently, but it has too many errors to allow the suspension of disbelief necessary to enjoy a book like this. It may sound pedantic but to enjoy these sort of boys books, I at least need to feel confident that the author knows what he is talking about. Two of the more frequent and irrating errors: British (and British derived) air forces do not use army ranks but have their own air force ranks. Thus Mr Meade's air force captain would in fact have been a Flying Officer. And Lieutenant Colonels are addressed as and call themselves "Colonel".
