    From my Kobo synopsis. Book One of three in the series following the adventures of Corporal Quinney in love and war over the Italian front. If I didnt have so many books unread I would buy it. It is less than $8.

    Thanks Gary.
    Over the Italian Front does it for me. I will make a point of reading that one.

    What is the British plane on the cover?

    To be a little pedantic, I think it's an "artist's rendition of a WWI-like plane". It must be a radial engine since the propeller is blurred but the cylinders are not.

    Well I guess seeing as it is fiction .........

    It is always amusing to see how many cover artists manage to mangle either history or the features of a well documented historical character.

    The other two books in the series look a bit more realistic:-

    Hi Chaps!
    I looked up this trilogy on Amazon & found that Max Hennessy is actually John Harris who wrote the best seller (& Movie) "the Sea Shall not Have Them". He has written many books under a number of names.
    The Series got 4 stars for the first book & 5 stars for the next two.
    I ordered a copy for my Tablet today.
