Wings Over Germany

by Eric B. Forsyth

Author Eric Forsyth has just published his third novel, Wings Over Germany, which covers one of the most dramatic periods in recent history, the first part of WWII.

RAF Squadron Leader Allan Chadwick, the recurring character in the "Wings" series, is right at the center of the "gripping action", as Kirkus Reviews described it, which the author writes about in "brutally evocative prose." Publishers Weekly's BookLife Review described Wings Over Germany as "Exciting WWII aviation action, with a firm sense of tech and history" and noted that "Forsyth, as always, captures the thrill of flight and the terror of battle with a nuts-and-bolts accuracy that, crucially, doesn't slow down the suspenseful storytelling during scenes of action."

Wings Over Iraq

by Eric B. Forsyth

In this historical novel set in Iraq in the turbulent lead-up to WWII, the British patrol the oil fields using obsolete Vimy bombers, while the Germans recruit opportunistic local tribes to sabotage British efforts and help set up an archaeological dig as an espionage cover. As fascists ascend to power in Europe, newly-qualified British RAF pilot Allan Chadwick is given his first assignment to an airfield near Baghdad.A gauche young man from a small English town, he is soon initiated into the brutalities and inefficiencies of war, as well as the pleasures and surprises of romantic liaisons. Chadwick demonstrates an innate aircraft and engineering know-how, which serves him well, but is nearly his undoing when he heads back to Britain for his next assignment.

Wings Over the Channel

by Eric B. Forsyth

Eric Forsyth's new historical novel is set in the U.K. in the 1930s when another war is threatening. The Royal Air Force is working frantically to develop an effective radar defense system against potential German bombers.

The story follows the continuing adventures of a young RAF pilot, Allan Chadwick, whose efforts to test the system attract the interest of German spies who have penetrated an upper class appeasement clique. One of their members is an aristocratic widow who becomes Chadwick's paramour. He becomes involved in a duel of wits to fool the Luftwaffe by feeding false reports of the tests.

Kirkus Reviews notes the story has a "sly undercurrent of humor" which "keeps the whole tale moving along briskly," including "a running gag about Chadwick's behemoth old Bentley." Kirkus concludes Wings Over the Channel is "A rousing detailed RAF thriller that delivers an effective climax."
