Produktbeschreibung
Moral Fibre, an inspiring tale of historical fiction by Helena P. Schrader, tells the story of a man once branded a coward who returns to continue the fight against fascism. Given a second chance, Flying Officer Kit Moran, now a qualified bomber pilot, forms a new crew, and together they join the other men of RAF Bomber Command in taking the war to Hitler. A moving tribute to those who fought for freedom in the air, Schrader covers the many faces of courage and grief -and the price of survival. Moral Fibre is an inspirational and spiritual tale which explores faith and the difficulties in finding a moral compass in the midst of war. It is also a compelling and meticulously researched historical account of the air war in Europe during WWII. What happens when a man branded a coward is given a second chance? Flying Officer Kit Moran, once disgraced as 'lacking moral fibre, ' returns to the front lines as a qualified bomber pilot. As he takes to the icy, moonlit skies with a new crew-a band of brothers-he knows his chances of survival are less than fifty percent. But the risk to his life is secondary to his mission: to reclaim his honor and fight for the woman he loves. This is a story of more than just war in the sky. It's a tribute to the heroes of RAF Bomber Command, exploring the many faces of courage and grief, and the brutal price of survival. Moral Fibre is the powerful, award-winning novel of redemption and love.
