Pair Of Silver Wings

Product Description

At the school where Edward Enderby taught for over forty years there were few who knew he'd once been a successful fighter pilot during the war. It was not something he ever talked about
- not even to his family. & for over half a century he had for the most part managed to put the memories of those years out of his mind. But fifty years on he is alone
- a widower
- with a strained relationship with his only son & a career behind him that has brought him respect but little affection. In 1995 Britain is celebrating the anniversary of the end of the war & Edward finds himself forced to confront the tragedy he suffered during those years. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery & personal redemption Edward travels from England to Malta & then to Italy & in doing so comes face-to-face with the idealistic young man he once was & the devastated & traumatised 23-year-old he was to become. Following his experiences over the skies of England in 1941 through the dark days of the Siege of Malta to the partisan struggle in Italy A Pair of Silver Wings is a story of friendship love & the terrible legacy of war exploring universal themes of grief & redemption & one man's quest to heal the scars of the past.
