I expected space opera, but A Private Little War is serious war fiction. The first part of the book is a bit tedious, the tediousness of sitting in a tent between combats, bored and surrounded by strange people who probably want to kill you. No swashbuckling here.

However, the attention given to making these warbirds actual replicas of Spads and Fokkers isn’t explained.
