FEARLESS AND PIONEERING....THE FLYING NIGHTINGALES Cherry's War and The Flying Nightingales is a young woman's coming-of-age story - of love and loss and her pursuit to find happiness while serving her country. Desperate to become a nurse at 18, but not old enough, Cherry joins the Women's Auxiliary Air Force as a nursing orderly. Amidst the chaos of war, right before The Battle of Britain, Cherry falls in love with Joe, an American RAF pilot in Eagle Squadron. But nothing is fair in love and war and while women do their bit for King and Country they still face prejudice and unequal treatment. Cherry finds solace in the camaraderie of the WAAF, easing her homesickness and fear for the safety of her loved ones during the Blitz. Joining the RAF Air Ambulance Service she and her team are dubbed The Flying Nightingales by the media. As the first female airborne paramedics, they bring home the gravely wounded after D-Day from the battlefields of Normandy. Cherry and her team undertake daring mission after daring mission to rescue the wounded across Europe as the Allies advance against a relentless enemy. This historical fiction novel is inspired by the real-life stories of the courageous Flying Nightingales.
Autorenporträt
Welcome to my author page. I love reading all types of books, which is why I love to write in the genres of historical fiction, suspense and action/adventure. Telling stories of forgotten heroines and the sacrifices they made during WW2. She Is Behind Enemy Lines is the first book and Victory in Normandy is the sequel in the Emily Boucher series I was born in Northampton, England, and worked for thirty years in Education. I emigrated to Perth, Western Australia in 2007. I live with my family and a menagerie of animals and I love to write and read all genres of books. My new book 'Cherry's War; and The Flying Nightingales' is out June 1st 2024. It's an historical fiction romance - and based on real-life stories of the famous British nurses in the air during WW2 who kept severely injured men alive during their flight home - they were probably the first ever female paramedics in the air.
