A good war

Adam Tomaszewski is a Polish airman, flying Hurricanes alongside British pilots as the Battle of Britain rages in the summer skies over Kent and Sussex. Far from home and facing death daily Adam is drawn to a maverick Irish soldier called Gerry Cunningham. 'You're out of luck, brother, ' are the first words Gerry says when he first meets him at a seaside dance, amid a crush of men competing for the few women there. When Gerry betrays his lover, Moira, Adam's fortunes change. Then Adam's life and Gerry's become intertwined like good luck and bad, love and loss, life and death. Their paths cross along Adam's perilous journey from the ruins of Poland to the rolling English countryside, from Egypt to Occupied France.
