| Flieger Abwehr Kanone - a German mouthful that was shortened to "flak", |
| a word dreaded by every Allied pilot. It meant anti-aircraft guns, |
| those multi-barrelled cannon and deadly 88-millimetre guns that could |
| blast attackers out of the sky. Every important target in Nazi Europe |
| bristled with them. |
| |
| Mosquito pilot Terry Franklin had met his fair share of flak and it |
| terrified him. Yet here he was in a new squadron whose job it was to |
| attack only the most difficult targets! |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| I imagine that if a current Commando author submitted the idea for |
| "Flak Fever", he or she might begin by writing something along the |
| lines of, "Our hero is a pilot with PTSDà" |
| |
| Because of our modern-day familiarity with military terms such as the |
| one mentioned above, we now know that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is |
| a serious condition which Armed Forces personnel acknowledge could |
| happen to any one of them. |
| |
| However, back when this story was originally scripted, in the |
| mid-1970s, the fictional hero believes that he has simply lost his |
| nerve, and that his own perceived "cowardice" is something that he must |
| hide. It's an interesting story point, but it is not laboured, and |
| seems all the more realistic for it. |
| |
