Goodbye Mickey Mouse

Norfolk, December, 1943. A group of US fighter pilots is camped at an air base; their job is to escort bombers over Germany. Each mission could be their last. Goodbye Mickey Mouse is a vivid evocation of wartime England and a brilliant, multi-dimensional picture of what it is to be at war. At the center of the novel are two young men - Captain Jamie Farebrother, estranged son of a colonel, and cocky Lieutenant Mickey Morse (nicknamed ＂Mickey Mouse＂), well on his way to becoming America’s Number One Flying Ace. Bonded only by their courage in deadly circumstances, their friendship forged in battle results in consequences for themselves and those they love.

Len Deighton was born in London in 1929 and is considered one of the most important British espionage writers. He has written more than thirty books that range from historical fiction, dystopian alternative fiction, and brilliant nonfiction on the Second World War.
