Lockheed C-141A Starlifter (61-2775), as seen at the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB back in October 2013.

This was the first Starlifter built, and one of only two A models remaining. It also spent its entire career as a test aircraft.

My this is Julian Stockwin’s “Kydd” (2001), the enthralling first instalment in the story of a press-ganged young sailor in Britain’s Napoleonic era Royal Navy, penned by a man with an intimate appreciation for the seas about which he writes.

Next in my , kicking off our series, is Patrick Robinson’s 2006 thriller, “Ghost Force.” Robinson is at his best (IMO at least) when dealing with the RN (as opposed to the USN), and a second Falklands War provides him with an ideal setting, with Russia secretly backing Argentinian aggression, and the US Seals stepping in to help under cover of darkness and deniability.
