Spotted this in a Healthy Planet store and could not resist picking up as had read previous books by the same author.

The narrative shuttles between 1941, 1943/44 and 1948, and draws on real historical events. Yet despite the changes in the timeline, this is a straightforward tale of wartime adventure and romance.

Whilst the flying scenes are well written and the overall story is reasonably engaging peppered with various action sequences I felt it lacked drama and any real surprises. Crane, as the principled but naive pilot, is well drawn but the minor characters (the femme fatale, the scheming spies, the resourceful but straight-laced young operative etc) failed to really sparkle.

Overall I found this a pleasant, quick and easy read, but not as good as others that I've read by the same author.

Going out to someone with a similar taste in books to my own to hopefully make a new friend. Enjoy!

Book arrived safely today along with its surprise friend. Thank you very much.

I got a bit lost with the time shifts at the beginning, but when I settled into the book, I enjoyed it very much.

Taking a trip to Leeds today. We're going to investigate the Museum Cafe which has just reopened and see if it's still suitable for a Leeds Bookcrossers meetup. May release the book or may bring it home again.

Returned home with us as the shelf in the cafe is currently only for children's books but we will work on the manager!
