German POW airmen are being transferred to France for no obvious reason. A fleet of B17s disappears without a trace. When Kaufmann tries to follow up, his contacts are murdered before he can reach them. Then the word comes from Eisenhower’s office: stop Kaufmann—stop him dead. Can Kaufmann evade the traitors, whoever they are, long enough to stop the world from going into a tailspin?
Told with all Jack Hunter’s enormous narrative gifts and proven expertise in military aviation and wartime intelligence, Tailspin is a page-turning thriller of the highest order.
Jack D. Hunter (1921–2009) often based his novels on his experiences as a US counterintelligence agent in World War II. The Blue Max was made into a motion picture, and The Expendable Spy was awarded the Edgar Allan Poe Special Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

Reviews
“This is the sort of thing that gives genre fiction a good name. Familiar ground is covered with sufficient depth of thought and richness of detail to keep it fresh and interesting. Barrett Whitener gives a secure, distraction-free performance that lets the story speak for itself…His characters are well defined without becoming caricatures or virtuoso displays.”
