Summer 1940…
The Battle of Britain is tearing the skies.
Ken Armstrong is a fighter pilot in the RAF. Freshly promoted to Squadron Leader, his life is about to get far more dangerous.
Armstrong’s days of photo-reconnaissance are over. Called to Fighter Command HQ, Armstrong receives exciting new orders:
Form a special squadron to take the war to the enemy.
This secret squadron must sneak into enemy territory to destroy German bombers in France and the Low countries.
This ‘intruder’ work, carried out mostly at night, is difficult and dangerous, for the pilots must fly Bristol Blenheim fighters — which are no match for the German Messerschmitts.
Until something better comes along …
How long can Ken Armstrong and his team survive against the infamous German Messerschmitts?
'Takes you to the heart of the action.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of Cold Kill.
Robert Jackson (b. 1941) is a prolific author of military and aviation history, having become a full time writer in 1969. As an active serviceman in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve he flew a wide range of aircraft, ranging from jets to gliders. The Intruders is the first book in The Secret Squadron series.
