| Description: | The heroes are two characters called Captain Rex Lovell and his observer, Tony Fraser. They are old school friends who previously lived and studied in Germany and so they are both fluent German speakers. Chosen by Major Trevor of Wing Headquarters for a difficult and dangerous mission, they are sent behind enemy lines to blow up a railway tunnel. This they succeed in doing and Major Trevor then asks them if they will be willing to try to hunt down spies working for the Germans. To assist, they are given the use of a captured German ‘Hannoverana’ aircraft and German uniforms. After checking up on a mysterious British S.E.5 aircraft that they have seen, they discover that the plane with that number went down on the German side of the lines a month ago. The plane is seen to land on a German airfield at Varne. Rex and Tony adopt the fake German identities of Adolf Wistmann and Ernst Koepler and fly their German plane over to land on the same German airfield.—wejohns.com [Suggest a different description.] |
