Spitfires Rising: A WWII aviation thriller in the lead up to Dunkirk... (John Noble Fighter Ace Thrillers Book 1) Kindle Edition

by David Mackenzie (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 116 ratings
An exciting new wartime adventure series! Perfect for fans of Derek Robinson, James Holland, Frank Barnard and Jack Higgins.

A young pilot is thrust into the raging skies of war…

1938

Having been raised on a farm, young New Zealander John Noble longs for an adventure away from his family’s homestead.

Enthralled by the sight of a Tiger Moth flying overhead, he decides to pursue a career as an RAF pilot and travels to the United Kingdom to complete his training.

After receiving his Wings, John is sent to RAF Catterick, where he finds himself flying the formidable Spitfire.

When tensions in Europe reach breaking point and Britain declares war on Germany, John’s training and courage are put to the ultimate test.

As the squadron prepares to face the Luftwaffe, John starts to question the effectiveness of their tactics, leading to clashes with senior officers.

And as his missions grow ever more dangerous, John wonders just how far he should go trying to persuade the squadron hierarchy that change is needed…

Is John ready for battle? Will he follow orders, even though he thinks they may have disastrous consequences for him and his fellow squadron pilots?

Or is he destined to become another casualty of war…?

SPITFIRES RISING is the first book in the John Noble Fighter Ace Thrillers series: action-packed military adventures following an RAF pilot during the Second World War.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of promise....

    My first book by this author. The author writes with a warm and engaging style, and the story is grounded in rich historical detail. However, while there are efforts to build tension—particularly in character development and combat scenes—the emotional depth is shallow. The writing leans more toward straightforward narrative than evocative prose, which can make some moments feel less immersive or affecting than they might have been.

    I look forward to the next in the series.
