That Fern Just Made A Run For It

A CLASSIC WARTIME ADVENTURE, WRITTEN BY A VETERAN OF THE NORTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN.

A blistering S.A.S. desert raid behind enemy lines. Thirty-nine enemy aircraft destroyed. Now the real fight begins…
In the heart of the North African desert, Captain Alan Yeats-Urley leads his elite S.A.S. patrol on a high-risk mission to cripple Rommel’s airpower. What starts as a bold, calculated strike erupts into chaos and a desperate struggle to escape.

The patrol’s trucks break down under the strain, forcing tough choices and frantic repairs in the middle of nowhere. Men collapse from exhaustion and injury, their strength sapped by the brutal terrain. With every passing hour, the threat of ambush, airstrikes, or mechanical failure grows.

For the men there is only one hope. If they reach The Graveyard, a long-abandoned battlefield scattered with wreckage, they’ll find just enough cover to disappear.

But time is against them, and the enemy is closing in fast. One wrong move, and they’ll never make it out alive.

Before the dogfights, before the legends — there was the birth of aerial combat

It is September 1914. The Great War has begun — but for Lieutenant Andrew Aird, his Royal Flying Corps squadron is still grounded in England. Frustrated by inaction while others fight and fall, Aird longs for the chance to prove himself above the trenches of France.

When the call finally comes, he joins the fledgling air war — a chaotic realm of unarmed reconnaissance, mechanical failure, and a sky where rules have yet to be written. Flying over shattered fields and burning towns, Aird witnesses the brutal transformation of cavalry warfare into a new kind of battle fought from the clouds.

As he navigates rivalries, near-death experiences, and brushes with German Taubes in the sky, Aird finds himself growing into a leader, caught between the traditions of his past and the uncharted future of aerial combat.

Richard Townshend Bickers, himself an RAF veteran, delivers a richly detailed, quietly compelling novel of the early days of war in the air — a world before dogfights, where every flight might be your last.
