My Thoughts- The Girls of Bomber Command written by Vicki Beeby

 The Girls of Bomber Command 

With an enemy in their midst, can they still protect their fighters in the skies? 

Pearl has given up on her dreams of being a journalist after being denied a promotion because of her  gender. Joining the WAAF as a radio telephone operator for Bomber Command, Pearl's new job at  RAF Fenthorpe serves two purposes – providing an income for her grandmother, and keeping a close  eye on her younger sister, Thea, an instrument repairer at another Lincolnshire bomber station. 

Pearl befriends Met WAAF Jenny as well as Australian pilot Greg, who she guides home safely during  an emergency. Pearl's journalism background doesn't go to waste, however – a series of thefts from  pilots rekindles her investigative fire and she is soon caught up in the mystery. 

But when all signs point to the perpetrator being her sister, she finds herself up against the clock to  prove her sister’s innocence… 

A captivating and heartwarming WWII saga for fans of Daisy Styles and Johanna Bell. Purchase Links

MY THOUGHTS

The Girls of Bomber Command is written by Vicki Beeby. This is my first book that I have read by this author - and it will not be my last. I loved Pearl. She had such big dreams of becoming a journalist - however when she is passed over for a promotion just because she is female she quits. Worried about bills, she signs up with the WAAF. Her grandmother is worried that she just wants to keep an eye on her younger sister, Thea. However, it's greater than that. Pearl becomes a radio telephone operator in the Bomber Command. She befriends Jenny. The forge a nice friendship. She also gets to know Greg. Greg is an Australian pilot. However, valuables start to go missing so the group starts to investigate. Pearl is not going to let her investigative skills go to waste. What is shocking is her sister seems to be the prime suspect. Can Pearl prove her innocence? While I have read my fair share of WWII stories - I have not read one that focused on the Bomber Command. I was not familiar so I read a little bit about their story. The author has done careful research to bring her story to life. I really hope to read more from this author. Thank you to the author, publisher and Rachel's Random Resources for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
