A meticulously detailed and moving novel explores the lives of American fighter pilots in World War Two

Goodbye Mickey Mouse is a vivid evocation of wartime England, the story of a group of American fighter pilots flying escort missions over Germany in the winter of 1943-4.

At the centre of the novel are two young men: the deeply reserved Captain Jamie Farebrother, estranged son of a deskbound colonel, and the cocky Lieutenant Mickey Morse, well on his way to becoming America's Number One Flying Ace. Alike only in their courage, they forge a bond of friendship in battle with far-reaching consequences for themselves, and for the future of those they love.

Praise for Goodbye Mickey Mouse

It is a novel of memory, satisfying on every imaginable level, but truly astonishing in its recreation of a time and place through minute detail ... The only way you could know more about flying a P-51 Mustang, after reading this book, is to have flown one.

Washington Post

He writes, as usual, with authority and a superb sense of period.

Daily Telegraph

The sheer charge of the writing swept me into another world all the while I was reading, and now that piece of the past is a piece in my mind.
