A gentle old-fashioned tale of wartime espionage, heroism and a cow. A story of its era, for sure, and a little dated, but overall none the worse for that. It has stood the test of time remarkably well, thanks to Tickell’s skill as a novelist, and it’s humorous, well-plotted and expertly constructed.
Over the course of a few years, they flew some of the most hazardous missions of the war. In 'Moon Squadron' Jerrard Tickell tells the story of the‘gentlemen of the shade’, whose courage and fighting spirit helped turn the tide of WWII, and bought invaluable aid to the resistance fighters of occupied Europe.
