Having recently joined several new FB Groups, I would like to introduce myself. I am an Aeronautical Engineer and former Flying Instructor currently writing historical fiction set during the interwar period. My novels include strong aviation/espionage themes firmly rooted in historical fact and always featuring interesting/significant aircraft (civil & military) of the period.

Watch out for my posts featuring these aircraft and the role they played in the development of aviation in the turbulent European theatre, when Germany went to extraordinary, highly secret lengths to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles restrictions.

The first book in the series is set at the end of the Great War and features this well-known aircraft (Bristol F2B Fighter) filmed at the Shuttleworth Collection.

Later in the series, the aircraft are not so well known. Watch this space.

Following the Great War, Germany was forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles from maintaining an air force. Yet even in 1919, secret plans were afoot to circumvent these restrictions through covert flight training and aircraft development outside Germany, away from the prying eyes of the Treaty inspectors.

The Tom Munro historical fiction series grew from my research into these little-known events.

The Tom Munro Aviation/Espionage series of historical thrillers: Where did it all begin?

It all started with LETTERS TO LOUISA - Book 1. Back in 1917, Tom Munro was a patriotic young man, mad keen to fly and Louisa, a privileged young woman keen to do her bit. How did they cope with the reality and horrors of war?

If you haven’t read it, find out in LETTERS TO LOUISA:
