Fans of Wein's novels will recognize nods to other characters from other novels--which I love! I haven't read all her books, but I remember enough to recognize how they cross over. That always makes an author's books fun.
I love how Wein makes women front and center in her historical fiction novels, especially where that isn't always the case, like on military bases. I really liked the narrators in this book, and Wein does an excellent job in differentiating between the three of them. The way she writes dialect is fantastic and almost makes me wish I would have listened to this on audio.
While at times, some of the plane terminology and other aspects went over my head, I appreciated the amount of research Wein put into writing this book.
Another great addition to Wein's historical fiction works!

After reading Code Name Verity, reading this made me feel tense the whole way through. The last few chapters were heartbreaking.
