The Good Pilot Peter Woodhouse (Broché)

World War II. England is under threat, and everybody has a part to play, no matter how small. Val works on a farm as a Land Girl, supplying produce to the local air force base where she meets an American aviator. Their lives become intertwined, as they do their bit in the effort to combat the Nazi menace. Even Val's sheepdog, the curiously named Peter Woodhouse, is caught up in the conflict when he becomes the Americans' mascot.
A small cog in the vast machine of war, Peter Woodhouse brings together two men on the opposite sides of history. Against the odds, friendships develop that survive the drama and cruelty of the war and its immediate aftermath, echoing all the way into the Europe of our own times.
