The book was written in 1981. The plot is interesting but can't be called racy. The ending is pretty sad.

It’s 1941. The United States has not yet entered the Second World War. An organization of expatriate Germans in the States is trying to drum up loyalty to the Fatherland. It’s not averse to a little blackmail in order to get people on board, and pilot Ernie Miller is about to find this out the hard way. As a pilot, he may be called upon to use these skills for nefarious means…

I picked up this book entirely on the strength of the cheerful yellow seaplane on the cover, and it was a wise purchase indeed. About half the book is set in Canada, which I was not expecting at all, so that was a nice bonus. And the book delivered amply on the aviation front: lots of technical details to keep the nerds like me happy, but plenty of adventure and thrills as well. Less helpful was the eyeroll-inducing language about women’s instincts whenever Ernie’s wife, Dot, was mentioned—and this is definitely more of a man’s fictional universe.

Good rollicking adventure story.....one that makes you want to bundle up, no matter where you are! A typical simple normal guy finds himself sucked into an exciting adventure of international (and cold!) intrigue, and sets out with a bunch of strangers to accomplish the impossible in a most unforgiving climate. Very fun....expecially since i was vacationing in FL when i read it!!
