Clive Egleton A Falcon for the Hawks
London Book Club Associates 1982 BCA Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good War Fiction
They were monstrous things - huge lumbering air ships twice the length of today's Jumbo Jets, yet capable of staying aloft for more than 36 hours: the Zeppelin. At the outbreak of war in 1914 the German Air Force had six operational, and they were first used against England in January of the following year, when two Zeppelins released over a ton of bombs on Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn. But for all their vastness the new craft were hopelessly underpowered, and frequently blown off course. The great German threat was, for all its power, a lumbering dinosaur. Such is the background to Clive Egleton's new thriller. It charts the progress of one such giant which loses its way during an air raid on London in March 1917, and drifts helplessly out of control. As the story moves from the inside of the Zeppelin, its crew desperately at odds with each other, to life on the ground Clive Egleton expertly manipulates the tension and drama to produce an outstanding and original war story. Some light tanning to the pages due to age. Hardly any edge wear to dj, which is fully intact.

What they didn't was that their route had already been betrayed to the Germans , and the U-boats were waitng.
