A Suspenseful World War II Thriller from the Author of The Blue Max
This gripping paperback thriller is another standout from Jack D. Hunter’s wartime literary catalog. The Flying Cross blends Hunter’s hallmark themes—military ambition, espionage, betrayal, and psychological manipulation—into a World War II-era whodunit. The story revolves around the mysterious murders of pilots in America’s 107th Aero Squadron. Military funds are being funneled to a secret location, and a saboteur is selling intelligence to the enemy. The plot thickens as it becomes evident that someone trusted within the ranks is orchestrating the betrayal.
The novel's title alludes to the Distinguished Flying Cross—America’s proudest decoration for aerial heroism—and raises the central question: what if it were awarded to a traitor?
