"The Bright Blue Sky"

**gully_raker** · 07-12-2019 02:46

I recently downloaded from Amazon Aust Kindle site the first book of a Trilogy written by Max Hennessy an alias for John Harris who wrote "The Sea Shall not have Them"which was made into a movie.
He was a prolific author across many genre & the title of the first book was The Bright Blue Sky.
I thoroughly enjoyed it & the second book as well & he certainly knew his Aviation. It is set in WW1 & follows the adventures of the main character through France, Italy & eventually into the Russian action after WW1. The second book takes you through little known RAF action in China, Irak & India during the 1920's & 30's. He meets Ernest Udet & other interesting people.
The third which I have not yet read takes him into WW2.
If you want a rollicking Aviation Novel you will enjoy these books. You can have fun relating his adventures to some real WW1 incidents.
