633 Squadron
This bestselling novel has gone into 25 editions in English alone, and inspired a record-breaking Hollywood film. The action-packed story of heroism and sacrifice follows Squadron 633 on a crucial mission--a mission crucial to the success of D-Day. Their target is a Norwegian fjord, where the Germans are developing a top-secret weapon. The pilots know they'll be flying in low, between the steep mountain walls, without fighter support. For many, the trip will be one-way only...

633 Squadron Operation Rhine Maiden
After the near-suicide mission to the Norwegian fjord, which had claimed so many lives, morale among what was left of 633 Squadron is at its lowest ebb. Unbearable tension, stupid wrangling among the survivors and problems with replacement recruits are tearing the squadron apart. The new Commander, Ian Moor - young, brilliant and determined - knows that the only thing that will pull it together again is the challenge of another vital mission. The Germans are developing a new anti-aircraft rocket, code name Rhine Maiden, which poses the most deadly threat so far to the Allies' invasion plans. So the top brass decide that 633 Squadron should first flatten the rocket factory on a bombing run, and then make a daring strike on an underground target buried deep in a Bavarian valley - in broad daylight...

633 Squadron Operation Crucible
It is Autumn 1943 and there is acrimony between the Air Staffs of Britain and America. With the 8th Air Force suffering crippling losses, accusations are coming from Washington that the RAF is not giving the B17s adequate support. Because of their distinguished reputation in the States, 633 Squadron is chosen for a dangerous mission that will set American minds at rest. But if the mission is to have its desired effect, it must be seen by ground observers. Flying high, and far away from anti aircraft fire, is simply not an option... Depicting wartime squadron life with the authenticity for which the author has become famous, 633 Squadron: Operation Crucible is the third in the bestselling 633 Squadron series.
