An ardent passion for flying brings New Zealand born Peter Garland to the RAF and war- torn Britain. Very quickly he settles into the life of a fighter pilot with the help of romance, comradery and unmatched determination.
Born in New Zealand in 1959 and raised in Australia, the author is currently happily settled in northern Tasmania, but is open to offers. He is father to two beautiful daughters who, probably quite sensibly, choose to live somewhere considerably warmer than Tasmania. Recently retired from a career in banking to concentrate on writing, he spends his days feeding the chickens and the cats whilst unsuccessfully trying to convince his French wife that the English make better cheese. An avid reader, he has a particular interest in non-fiction history, with a special fascination in the period from the American Civil War up until the Cold War. Away from writing, his main interests are playing guitar, old, unreliable English cars and pouring glasses of champagne for his wife.
