The Dave Dawson War Adventure series is a fifteen book series of boy's adventure stories pertaining to the European and Pacific theatres of World War II. Written between 1941 and 1945, by R. Sidney Bowen the books follow the adventures of American RAF pilot Dave Dawson, and his fellow flyer, Freddy Farmer. The novels often contain a series of unlikely events, whereby the protagonists succeed in the face of unbelievable odds. Although based on real events, the novels tend to be heavily fictionalized and deviate from actual history in many instances. They were a childhood favorite of Stephen King, whose favorite line from the comics occurred when Dawson's planes "were always "prop-clawing for altitude"."[1]
