Of less interest to us aircraft nuts here perhaps, but DR also wrote ‘Kramer’s War’, about the German occupation of Jersey. He sent me a copy free when I bought my signed 1st ed hardback of POC from him years ago!
Had ‘Damned Good Show’ for Crimbo, not bad, not bad at all, some of his best characterisation work since POC, which was very strong on it’s characters, as all of you who have read it will know. Bit short, though. I didn’t like ‘A Good Clean Fight’ at all, despite having Uncle, Skull, Patterson and Barton from POC in it again. Only the mention of one late Moggy Cattermole in it raised a cheer for me!
POC is still his very best, just as a tale of strong characters in a bad situation; nuts to those who criticise it for not being ‘real’, just enjoy the damn thing for what it is!
