Very enjoyable book set during WWII. My review is located at www.lezficrev.blogspot.com ( )

The story of Kit, an American ATA Flight Lieutenant in Britain during the second world war. One of the women that ferried planes from place to place. New ones, broken ones, newly fixed ones, etc. Then there's Em, a British Citizen, and granddaughter of a British Lady (literally) who needs a job. Kit winds up renting a room from the Lady, a fact that Em doesn't love. And then Kit signs a recommendation form for Em too so Em can get a job on the same airbase that Kit works on. It takes a bit of time for Em to find a job where she doesn't destroy stuff, but she does, and she and Kit even start to like each other... and more (I know, everyone's shocked, just shocked at this turn of the story).

I liked the story. I very much felt like I was back in the time of World War II (never been to Britain so I don't know if that stuff was right). The characters and relationships were interesting as well. Although some of the Em/Kit stuff seemed a bit forced, and the end of the novel just really seemed rushed.

But the stuff I loved best was all the flying plane parts, I mean, nothing will ever take the A-10 Thunderbolt II away as my favorite plane, but the Stearman and Hurricane sound like very cool planes too.

All in all I thought it was an enjoyable lesbian fiction romance. ( )

Book description
Kit Anderson is determined to make a difference. All around her the Battle for Britain is raging, and ferrying factory-fresh airplanes to combat bases makes excellent use of her skills as flight lieutenant for the British Women's Air Transport Auxiliary. An American in southern England, she is undaunted by war. It's safer than love. The talented aviatrix could fly a crippled craft through a thunderstorm without a compass and find her way home, so it is singularly disconcerting to find herself flying in circles around Emily Mills, a too young, too attractive and too abrasive British literature teacher. Even though Emily's grandmother is Lady Marble, it's a time of war and scarcity and Emily needs work. Kit offers to help her find a job on the air base--and as is often true, no good deed goes unpunished. There's no compass on earth to help when the irascible Emily gets past all Kit's defenses. She knows the sparks could turn to flame, and their hearts are in the line of fire.
