There can be few technologies in the history of the modern world that have progressed so rapidly, and have seen so much change in such a short timespan as that of aviation.
This book is based on events in the life of the author's grandfather, Ted Robin, from just before the start of WW1 until just after the end of WW2.While based on experiences of its main character, it is not intended to be an accurate historical record - but rather a story of joy and despair on both sides of the Atlantic during this significant period in history.It follows Ted's early years living in Guernsey, his experiences living in Pennsylvania and his return to his native isle - taking in various happy and tragic events along the way.Forbidden love, family fall-outs and devoted friendships all feature as this humble man strives to lead a good and honest life in the face of frequent adversity.Note: 10% of the author's royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to the Guernsey Society for Cancer Relief.
