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
mother's 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.
