Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. 246 pages 23 cm ISBN 9780670346721, 0670346721 OCLC 215336 LCCN 72158419 LC PR6068.O1954 Dewey 823.914 ; orange and brown cloth in color photographic dustjacket ; Goshawk Squadron completes Derek Robinson's great trilogy of Royal Flying Corps nov…els. As one reviewer said: 'Robinson mixes action with cynicism and hard-bitten humour that has you halfway between tears and laughter.' The story is sometimes funny because humour came easily to young men - and so did death. It's 1918, and Stanley Woolley, C.O. of Goshawk Squadron, sets about replacing their schoolboy notions of sport, fair play, chivalry in the sky, with his own belief: that there are only two kinds of fighter pilot: victims and murderers. Goshawk Squadron was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and is as convincing - and as splendidly incorrect politically - now as when it was first published. ; Goshawk Squadron is a 1971 black comedy novel by Derek Robinson which tells of the adventures of a squadron of SE5a pilots from January 1918 to the time of the German spring offensive of March 1918. Goshawk Squadron was Robinson's first novel. ; VG/VG. Book.
