Description
The Good Pilot, Peter Woodhouse A Wartime Romance by Alexander McCall Smith. In 1944, Val's life was about to take an unexpected turn. When American airmen arrived at the nearby airfield, she found herself drawn into their world. Among them was Mike, a young pilot who soon became her friend, and Peter Woodhouse, a dog rescued from a neighbouring farm. As fate would have it, Peter accompanied Mike on his missions, becoming an unlikely mascot for the American squad. When their plane crashed in Holland, both Mike and Peter were feared lost. However, they managed to survive and were taken in by the Dutch resistance. With the help of Ubi, a German officer who defected to their side, they remained hidden until the end of the war. Reunited with Val, they began rebuilding their lives in England. The story then follows two more characters as they navigate their post-war lives. Mike and Peter settle into life back home, while Ubi returns to Germany with a new dream: running a Wall of Death, a thrilling circus attraction that tests motorcyclists' skills against gravity.
