This wasn't to be the last time that we left pieces of aeroplane all over Germany, but you remember your first time. It's just like your first kiss. It is 1944 and as their battered Lancaster Bomber limps home to base in thick fog, an RAF crew are horrified to find a second Bomber just moments in front. It is too close for their own pilot to react, but in one skilful move their forerunner swoops out of the way and the crew's lives are saved. Back on the runway the seven, thankful young men eagerly await their saviour's return and are stunned, when the pilot climbs down from the cockpit, to find themselves face to face with female Air Transport Auxiliary pilot Grace Baker. Grace quickly befriends the crew, introducing them to their new Bomber, Tuesday's Child' and ensconsing herself in their spare bunk. Then when rear gunner Pete the Pole' absconds, the lads don't think twice about asking Grace to secretly take his place in 'Tuesday' as they return to Germany ...As radio operator Charlie Bassett regales the reader with the drama of combat during his eight weeks aboard Tuesday's Child' in 1944, a funny, authentic and deeply humane tale unfolds. Comparable to Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong, Tuesday's War races vividly across the page, emotionally entwining the reader in the lives and friendships of its extraordinary characters and awakening us to the heroics and realities of war.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En 1944, mientras su maltrecho bombardero Lancaster regresa a la base en medio de una espesa niebla, una tripulación de la RAF se horroriza al encontrar un segundo bombardero justo delante. Está demasiado cerca para que su propio piloto reaccione, pero con una hábil maniobra su predecesor se aparta y las vidas de la tripulación se salvan. De vuelta en la pista, los siete jóvenes agradecidos esperan ansiosamente el regreso de su salvador y se quedan atónitos cuando el piloto sale de la cabina y se encuentra cara a cara con la piloto auxiliar de transporte aéreo Grace Baker. Grace rápidamente se hace amiga de la tripulación, presentándoles su nuevo bombardero, Tuesday's Child, y acomodándose en su litera de repuesto. Entonces, cuando el artillero de cola "Pete el Polaco" se fuga, los chicos no se lo piensan dos veces antes de pedirle a Grace que ocupe en secreto su lugar en "Tuesday" cuando regresan a Alemania. Como operador de radio, Charlie Bassett, deleita al lector con el drama del combate durante sus ocho semanas a bordo del Tuesday's Child en 1944, se desarrolla una historia divertida, auténtica y profundamente humana, que corre vívidamente por la página, entrelazando emocionalmente al lector en las vidas y amistades de sus extraordinarios personajes, y despertándonos al heroísmo y las realidades de la guerra.
