Mark Ryan has built an excellent reputation as an author in recent years. The First VCs is his fourth and most moving war book. His most recent book, The Last Torpedo Flyers, is a gripping tale about the nearest thing Britain had to a Kamikaze squadron during WW2. It is the autobiography of Arthur Aldridge, DFC and Bar.
