The Bridge of Wings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780992858858)

Part biography, part succinct history of the Berlin airlift from the viewpoint of an innocent 21-year-old girl who joined the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) and was sent out to Berlin in 1948. She now looks back at that time and how her views have been changed in the intervening years. Admittedly, thinking that she was a dog and that a suitable canine accommodation had been supplied rather than the usual billet is just one of the interesting anecdotal stories within the book. It can be read as her personal journey or as an interesting historical document that looks at many of the wider political and social issues in the lead up to the Berlin Airlift.
