Wings over Cairo Simon W. Herbert

When Jack McClelland joins the Advanced Flying Unit at RAF Ramsey in early 1941, he is one of many hot shot pilots who take to the air to defend Britain. But he finds out the hard way that a thwarted senior officer can carry a grudge, especially when a beautiful woman is at the heart of their rivalry. As love and war collide, McClelland finds himself in an impossible situation, forced to choose between following orders on a doomed suicide run, or disobeying a commanding officer to accomplish the mission in Egypt. Set in the early, desperate days of World War II, here is a tale of courage, love, and the struggle to win over adversity, based on the actual exploits of the men of the RAF's 272 Squadron.
