World War II Flying Stories

This diverse collection of short stories all relating to aviation during WWII is written from the perspectives of a group of disparate individuals. A war-weary American pilot is trapped in a loveless marriage and an ATA girl gets caught up in Operation Chastise. A mothers perspective is chronicled along with the experiences of an Afro-Caribbean Pathfinder and also a German ace fearful for the life of his younger brother. Even the exploits of a courier pigeon are penned! Corkscrew Port Go! is based on the memoirs of Lancaster bomber wireless operator Reg Payne whose painting First Wave was chosen for the book cover. I was captivated by the quality of the writing: the language captures beautifully the atmosphere mood and innocence of a bygone era Craig Moore former RAF flight engineer.
