Nah, Jack Higgins isn't even this guys real name. It's Harry Peterson or Patterson or something. Anyway hes written a whole ton of books, mostly set during WW2 which usually have plots about Nazis being foiled and airplanes landing on rather treacherous improvised landing strips. His books are easy reads and rather fun I must admit. They're not exactly quality literature but they're enjoyable (if not a bit repetitious after a while).
