Day
by
Kennedy, A.L.
Alfred Day wanted his war. In its
turmoil he found his proper purpose as the tail-gunner in a Lancaster
bomber; he found the wild, dark fellowship of his crew, and –
most extraordinary of all – he found Joyce, a woman to love.
But that’s all gone now – the war took it away. Maybe
it took him, too.
Before Hitler and the bombs he was a boy in Staffordshire, helpless
to defend his mother, to resist his abusive father. The RAF gave
him order, skills, another family and a way to be a man. It taught
him how to burn through lifetimes on night ops and brief, sweet
leaves, surviving the unsurvivable. But it didn’t prepare him
for capture, for the prison camp and the chaos as the war wound
down. It didn’t prepare him for an empty peace.
