Yep, a novel about a fictitious Luftwaffe pilot who becomes an ace and the unwilling darling of the newsreels. It ticks all the boxes for a men's novel written in the late 70's. Dunmore writes very well though. Bomb Run and Final Approach are his other two that are very good indeed. I'll take my copy of Ace to work with me and see if I can scan a few pages. It'll give you an idea.
