Description

GOODBYE MICKEY MOUSE is Deighton’s fourteenth book and a brilliant evocation of wartime England, the tale of the number of American fighter pilots flying escort missions over Germany in the wintertime of 1943-4. In the center of the book are two toung males: the seriously reserved Chief Jamie Farebrother, alienated daughter of the colonel, and the smart Lieutenant Mickey Morse, well on his method to getting America’s Number 1 Flying Expert. Likewise just within their bravery, they create a bond of companionship in struggle with far reaching effects for themselves, and for the continuing future of those they love.
