Cranwell College is the Royal Air Force college (for those like me who didn't know).

But, while Georgette Heyer invented the Regency romance, hers are not "bodice-rippers". They're far better than that.

"An Infamous Army" is kind of a strange book. It's half a romance, and half a war story, and it doesn't quite work as either one, but it works well as itself.

It was of course Sandhurst, not Cranwell. I keep getting my institutions mixed up.

Heyer didn't know how to end a book. They're all flirtation and then "reader, she married him (probably)"
