'A haunting political allegory...a cracking beach read' The Times

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MICHAEL MOORCOCK

A model of efficiency and order, the aerodrome stands on the hill looking down on the village below. Roy, coming of age in the messy, violent and adulterous world of the villagers, is simultaneously attracted and repelled by this strange place and by the powerful figure of the Air Vice-Marshal. Soon he is led to leave his family, his friends and his love in order to join the aerodrome and confront the secrets of this mysterious and sinister place...

Industry Reviews

A powerful and mysterious novel - totally gripping -- J.G. Ballard
A horrified and darkly comic response to the appeal of totalitarianism, a mixture of Orwellian satire, rural sentimentality and Kafkaesque nightmare... * Guardian *
Intensely original...humour and irony, and the smell of the English earth...Its value as literature becomes increasingly apparent at each re-reading -- Anthony Burgess
The Aerodrome has been called the best novel ever written about fascism...captures so well the sinister glamour...as unsettling today as when it appeared more than sixty years ago * New Statesman *
The only outstanding novelist of ideas whom the decade of ideas has produced is Rex Warner -- V.S. Pritchett
