In 1935, Lacy Dunbrough is nineteen and in love with two competitive college friends at Princeton University, an American and a German, who fly in the Thomson Trophy air races. Aaron Miller is the half-Jewish son of a Polish immigrant, and Miki Von Steuven, the scion of an industrial family from the Ruhr Valley. Pressured by her parents, she marries the Miki who becomes an ace with the Luftwaffe while the Aaron and his friends volunteer for the RAF.

 

As they become fighter enemies on opposite sides, Lacy finds herself living the privileged life of the wife of a national war hero in Nazi Germany. Seeing injustice, she is drawn into secretly operating a forged document escape spy network under suspicion of the Gestapo, until they are destined to meet again.

“an aviation-fueled rip-roaring read…filled with romance, suspense, wonder and danger…

Well researched and enjoyable.” Brooks Wachtel, Creator of History Channel’s “Dogfights”
