Even as a child Pru adored Varian Verney, but he thought her an irritating little chit, and did not hesitate to tell her so. She bet him half-a-crown she would one day make it as a pilot but his response was to call her a gormless brat. When she rescued him from occupied France during World War Two, he knew he would have to pay up, but he did more than that. He fell head over heels in love with the beautiful Ferry Pilot.

Pru wanted two things in life: to be a pilot and Varian Verney. Unfortunately, Varian didn’t share her sentiment. After being shipped off to school and separated from her childhood crush, Pru focused on pursuing her goal of flying. While she developed the skills of an excellent pilot and could outfly just about any man, her love-life didn’t fare so well. An abusive marriage and bitter divorce left a bad taste in her mouth concerning men. Her life as a pilot and her daughter were all she cared about, or so she thought.

He had a lot of making up to do, and he intended to give it his best. Unfortunately other circumstances in their lives interfere, threatening what promises to be a happy future.

For a combination of wit, danger, and endearment, grab a copy of The Wing Commander by Ellen Margret, she’s woven a wonderful tale of what happens when young love grows up.

Flight Lieutenant Virgil Verney escaped from Stalag Luft III, returned to the arms of Nurse Fiddie Pixton, and gave up the heavy drinking which had served to dull his pre-sortie nerves. Now, all that could come between them was a jealous barmaid and a German pilot stranded on
