Growing up under the drone of engines from Castle Bromwich aerodrome engendered a predictable fascination for flying machines in a Brummie lad growing up in the aftermath of the Second World War. In later years, fate was kind enough to place Jem Shaw in the cockpits of some of those iconic aircraft, and the time aloft was balm to a spirit jaded by writing compelling and frequently trite advertising copy. It's a sad indictment of Shaw's intellectual powers that he had to turn sixty before realising that writing and flying weren't mutually exclusive.
Andy Palmer is a few days shy of his eighteenth birthday when he joins his squadron in Northern France. It is June 1916 and the great slaughter of the Somme approaches. In the desperate humour and visceral fear of the weeks that follow we see the effect of daily madness on ordinary, civilised people.
With a strong eye for accuracy, The Larks is moving, often lewdly funny and occasionally shockingly brutal.
