A battle of nerves between British squadron-leader a German sea-captain

Deep in a Norwegian fjord hides the German merchant-cruiser Groningen. Squadron-leader Guy Strickland knows he has spotted it, but Intelligence refuses to believe him. He leads his exhausted squadron into the air again to take the vital photographic evidence - but only his plane returns.

A maverick and brilliant flyer, Strickland becomes obsessed with the Groningen and so begins a grim and bitter struggle to the death between the plane and the ship . . .

This thrilling wartime action story by a master storyteller of drama in the air vibrates with tension to the final page.
