Synopsis

Pitted against the Japanese advance into Indochina, Squadron Leader Marsland's squadron must take men, materiel and malt whiskey where they can find them. Equipped with a few tired Kittyhawks and equally tired men, the odds are stacked against him.
Meanwhile, back in London, Squadron leader Padshaw finds himself recruited for a mission so secret, even he has no idea what he's doing.
Despatched aboard a Sunderland flying boat with a no-nonsense Australian crew, Padshaw must dodge the Luftwaffe and fly out beyond Gibraltar and besieged Malta, under the impression his journey is to India.
And all the time Major Connors' column is tasked with the re-supply of Marsland's squadron. But not if the jungle proves to be a bigger battle than Johnny Jap.
Compelling and illuminating, Greg Carter weaves together the lives of forceful and resourceful characters into a fast and gritty novel, laced with black humour, which was often all they had left.
