Thompson has always been a good writer in his chosen field of historical fabulations and, as usual, he emphasises the historic over the romantic. His many fans won't be disappointed (BRISTOL EVENING NEWS)
A heart-warming read for lovers of Great War romance. (WIGAN EVENING POST)
Thompson's enjoyable novel has lots of airtime action and a good mix of fact and fiction. (KEIGHLEY NEWS)
With his usual flair, Thompson combines a tender love story with fascinating detail of the exploits of the RFC... He evokes brilliantly the mores of the time, the grim reality of war...a thought provoking novel as well as a good read. (HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW)
Perys Tremayne is not readily accepted by his family in Heligan, Cornwall, because his late parents had caused a scandal, but neither did he fit easily with the servants. A neighbouring farmer's daughter, Annie, and her brother, Martin, the Tremayne's chauffeur, were the only two who would befriend him. But when war breaks out in 1914, Perys' life picks up - his determination and talent for flying enables him to join the RFC and become a distinguished flying ace.
Although his war years and flying career go well, his love life was less successful. He is deeply attracted to Annie, but she has an understanding with Jimmy who returns from the Front blind and gas poisoned so she feels she must go through with her marriage. Perys' next girlfriend is Grace, a nurse, but she's on the S. S. Sultan, torpedoed and sunk by the Germans. When war ends, Perys meets up again with Annie just after Jimmy committs suicide, unable to live a disabled life...
