Attack Alarm is a 1941 thriller novel by the British writer Hammond Innes. It was inspired by the author's own experience as an anti-aircraft gunner at RAF Kenley during the Battle of Britain.[1] In fact, according to Adrian Jack, the manuscript "was written on a gun-site after he had joined the Royal Artillery".[2]
It was published in the United States the following year by Macmillan.[3]
In the summer of 1940, as the battle between the British and German air forces continues a former Fleet Street journalist now a gunner serving in an anti-aircraft battery begins to suspect that there may be a plot on the ground even more dangerous to his country than the enemy planes.
