I& #39;ve argued before that as fiction, Robinson& #39;s Piece of Cake is an excellent insight or intro to the reality of the RAF& #39;s early war combat, and Robinson& #39;s research grounds most of the events from real actions, such as & #39;Battle of Barking Creek& #39;. 1/2 https://twitter.com/aniemyer/status/1248594832513208320">https://twitter.com/aniemyer/...

2/2 Len Deighton is another writer taking an exceptionally factual approach to WWII& #39;s air war in novels. I& #39;d rate both more useful than screeds of nationally archived documents that are actually only bureaucratic self-justification & smoke screen despite their historical status.
