A grand romance and historic adventure set to the backdrop of World War II. Meet the ace, PJ Wheeler, a wealthy, womanizing grandson of a powerful U.S. Senator, who chooses the perils of fighter pilot combat over the safety his grandfather’s influence could have assured him; the navigator, Joe Beauman, a rugged, romantic farm boy turned hardened B-17 navigator; the war correspondent, Janice Courtenay, sought-after beauty and accomplished journalist; the spy, Melissa Sullivan, exotic singer and courtesan informant; and the passionate Marie Saint-Claire, who risks everything in her support of the French Resistance. Experience the tawdriness of a Cairo brothel; the terror of the crew in the fuselage of a flak-riddled B-17 bomber; and the thrill of P38 vs Messerscmidtt dogfights.
Love and Glory is fiction, infused with very real tales that only a World War II combat veteran — remembering all the exquisite detail of wartime America and the North African Campaign — could tell.
