    Dartmouth Conspiracy by James Stevenson

    Hi Wargamers and Virtual Pilots.

    I thought I'd bring to your attention a very nice, well worded fictional novel called "Dartmouth Conspiracy"

    On it's cover is a soft tone picture of the Dartmouth Naval College (probably a photobut made to look like a watercolour) and over it, with wingtip vapour from pulling up so hard is a.......

    FW190

    To start with, when I began reading it, I didn't want to tell you guys, because I was concerned that telling the first chapter to you (which had me gripped) would ruin the story, but now I'm into it, I can safely say those exciting pages are only the start of a vastly larger plot

    So...here goes, prepare to be enticed.

    On Sept 10th 1942 a Focke-Wulf pilot flew flat-out acrosss the channel, into Darmouth harbour, to reconoitre the College there, to take photos, and to escape flat out back across the sea at 0 altitude, knowing his FW was quicker than any Spitfire of the time so long as he didn't get bounced from on high.

    He'd been chosen to take these photo's because as a child he'd been to Devon on long holidays, to stay with his cousins. He knew (as I do) the layout of the harbour, the train station, the college and the Mew stone out at sea.

    What people in the Luft Waffe DIDN'T know (but Karl Deichman did as he flew across the channel) was that his relative was likely to be at the college when the bombing attack was due to be conducted in a weeks time.

    So he secretly dropped a cansiter out of the FW's canopy as he passed the photo mark, hoping someone would find it, and alert all the young cadets to avoid the college on the date of the imminent attack.

    One week later, Deichy and his flight (all his comrades and friends) had to do this bombing run in their FW190's and a suprise was awaiting them in the normally empty clouds above Dartmouth. 10 Spitfire MkV's against their 5 FW190 A (somethings) loade with bombs and low and slow It was a massacre.

    Most were shot down, except Deichy who escapes. But he does'nt know if his cousin was killed, or what happened to his flight fellows. ANd worst still it may have been him that caused this los of his friends to save his cousin and the young cadets (estimated at 600 in the central hall at the time of the bombing)


    It's a blinding book guys.....

    go find it and see what happens. It is very good and very easy to read
