I read in the 1990s a novel about an RAF pilot who was sent to find somevof the experimental aircraft and bring them back to the UK. Can't remember the title or author. Operation Lusty never mentioned in the novel. Maybe this rings a bell with someone on here. Many thanks if so.

Thanks yes i have read Wings on my Sleeve. The factual stuff i am fairly familiar with. This book i remember was a Novel. I keep thinking about Walter J Boynevwho wrote Roaring Thunder and others - but that was an american flavour novel. The novel i remember was specifically a British one. RAF officer called in to London office in 1945 and sent on independant mission to find German jets. Somewher in the novel he flies an Arado 234 - i think to escape some post-war Nazi death squad still operating.
Fantasy stuff - but I quite liked it so still wonder who the author was.
EwenS, I think what Snautzer01 was politely saying is that perhaps he was mistaken that it was a novel because it so closely mirrors the life of Eric "Winkle" Brown.

I am not a retarded caveman. I do know the difference. And i can eat with a knife and fork.
The question was a tad vague but as i read it it and not knowing the o.p. I pitched something that came close.
Perhaps i read dear ewens reply wrong but i thought it a bit pedentic.

..novel sounds like something John Clive might have concocted. He authored the KG 200 novel. But it wasn't. He also wrote 'The Last Liberator' - a captured B-24 flown out of Berlin with Bormann on board
Agreed he is a good suggestion and i have a copy of KG200. I certainly did a search on him before for this one but no joy. Thanks for the suggestion though.
