The RAF series is Derek Robinson at his best — four novels about World War II fighter and bomber pilots, written without the romantic gloss that usually accompanies the subject. Piece of Cake (1983) follows a fighter squadron through the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain with a brutal honesty about the waste and chaos of war.

A Good Clean Fight (1993) takes the story to the North African desert, Damned Good Show (2002) puts the reader inside a Lancaster bomber over Germany, and Invasion, 1940 (2005) imagines a counterfactual German invasion of Britain.
