In a Moon's Course




In a Moon's Course is my first book, about the delivery of fighters and bombers across Britain by the men and women of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in World War II .  The title is from the epitaph in St. Paul’s Cathedral, London to the 173 men and women of the ATA who died in service delivering these aircraft.

I had no plan when I chose the book title to use it as a blog theme but find that it is, in fact, generally applicable to my writing interests at present.  Not that I  am morbid about the transitory nature of life; on the contrary, I enjoy celebrating life's accomplishments - including those by others that I come across in what could be easily-forgotten documents.
