Book description
When Juliet Porter's mother dies, she leaves Juliet some old letters
and a photograph which shatter all her previously-held beliefs. They
show that her real father was an American bomber pilot in the second
world war, some forty years before, and that he had met her mother
while serving in England. Armed only with this photo, Juliet sets out
to trace her real father, and eventually finds the airfield where he
served.
In 1943, Juliet's mother Daisy is in the WAAF and stationed at the
airfield which is taken over by the American airmen at a moment's
notice. She falls in love with a bomber pilot who is then posted
missing, presumed dead; pregnant and grieving, she marries a long-term
admirer only to discover, at the end of the war, that her pilot had survived...
Margaret Mayhew was born in London and her earliest childhood
memories were of the London Blitz. She began writing in her mid-thirties
and had her first novel published in 1976. She is married to American
aviation author, Philip Kaplan, and lives in Gloucestershire. Her
novels, Bluebirds, The Crew, The Little Ship, Our Yanks, The Pathfinder
and Those In Peril are all published by Corgi Books, as is her most
recent novel, I'll be Seeing You.
