I dearly loved reading the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. To have anything approaching his writing but rather placed in the WWI airwar theatre would be wonderful IMO. I embraced the characters and cared greatly about them. They had a friendship that pulled me in. Their world of wooden ships and espionage excited me. I laughed a great deal and I learned a lot as so much of the storylines were taken from history. 20 volumes of this wonderful writing has been the heigth of my novel reading experience. Historical Fiction can be done very well and sell to a large audience when done properly.
