| Summary | "Dave Dawson, Flight Lieutenant" by Robert Sidney Bowen is a fictional novel likely written in the early 1940s, during World War II. The story focuses on the adventures of the protagonist, Dave Dawson, as he and his companions in the Royal Air Force navigate various military tasks and aerial missions against the backdrop of the war. The narrative showcases themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the tension of combat, highlighting the experiences of young pilots during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book introduces Squadron Leader Markham, who expresses his frustration with the bureaucratic demands that come with his command position. While wrestling with a perplexing memo from Air Ministry, he observes his pilots, including Dave Dawson and Freddy Farmer, flying the new Mark 5 Spitfires. As the squadron prepares for an important reconnaissance mission, they learn that their task might involve capturing crucial information about the Germans' plans, particularly concerning a secret weapon. The initial chapters set the stage for an action-packed story filled with intrigue and the constant threat of enemy encounters, focusing on the youth and enthusiasm of the pilots as they face the reality of war.
