Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

As a young RAF pilot Anthony Leicester's wartime service took him to Canada, the Middle East, India and Burma as well as Europe. He survived a midair collision in Canada, then, at nineteen, as the Captain of a Wellington II, lost an engine over the Atlas mountains during the African campaign and was faced with the agonising choice of crash landing, bailing out or finding a safe airfield hundreds of miles away in the Sahara Desert. An illuminating insight into the experiences and emotions of wartime RAF service.

WWII autobiographical stories of a RAF pilot
These autobiographical stories begin with a boy leaving school and joining the Royal Air Force, followed by his WWII experiences as he moves along the line from AC2 to Flight Lieutenant. Through his eyes we see a pilot's war and experience what is was like to fly Wellington and Dakota aircraft in their respective roles. We share his mid-air collision in Canada. We are with him putting a Wellington into a potato field at night then, on one engine, landing in a mine field in the Sahara desert. We fly with him in India's monsoon, bombing Madalay's marshalling yard and supply dropping over Burma's jungle. We see him being arrested in Shepherds Hotel in Cairo and, later, disarming and frog-marching a Russian officer in Berlin.

2004-11-20 Flights Into the Night

What an absolutely brilliant read.Not one of those me me me me autobiographies but one that encompasses all that happened to those we owe so much to.
At time I felt I was with Leicester and others glad I wasn't.
Thanks to Anthony Leicester for taking the time to put his experiences in writing.
