Razor Eyes
Mick Boyd dreaded his eighteenth birthday in September 1940. Now he has old enough to enlist. Lacking the blasé courage of his friend Bruno or the reckless bravery of his sister Jo, Mick can't explain to them how he feels. Caught up at times with the romantic image of diving out of the sun in a Hurricane, the reality of injury and death always dominate his thoughts of war. Unexceptional in all things, his one asset is remarkable eyesight and it is as 'Razor eyes' that Mick survives the war.
