l. r. martin may have been a real person, but the odds are high that this book was actually written by john s. glasby - and also that ''l. r. martin'' is/was a john spencer & co. / badger books house name.

Comment by ppint.:
as the novel is set in the prelude to, and the days of the battle of britain, the cover is wildly inappropriate.
