At The Going Down Of The Sun

A captivating story of love and war. It's 1944 and Dianne Parker serves in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, working closely with the RAF bomber crews who risk their lives flying raids over Germany two or three times a week. Casualties are very high, and many of the planes don't return. The aircrews and WAAF's try to live a normal life - and avoid falling in love, because the future is so uncertain and promises only grief and disappointment. When Dianne meets Danny Young, a gunner who has thirty more missions to complete in a Lancaster bomber, it seems futile to Dianne that she should let their feelings grow. The odds of any love affair surviving the war are too small. Danny believes differently and is determined to have nothing standing between them. Not even Nazi Germany and the prospect of a violent death, or the risk of being shot down inside enemy territory. At The Going Down Of The Sun is the story of the extraordinary courage not only of the RAF bomber crews, but of the WAAF women who planned the raids, armed and serviced the aircraft, endured hardship, rationing and German bombing raids - and ultimately sent their friends and lovers to war in the night skies over Berlin.
