As the first Axis aircraft streak across English Channel airspace, so begins a battle for the ages; one that will determine the trajectory of the war. Braced for engagement on their individual fronts, the Littlefields plumb the depths of courage and ingenuity to defend their beloved Britain. Fresh from the slaughter of Dunkirk, youngest brother Jeremy is called upon to create a French Resistance network composed of former naval officers. At MI-9 headquarters, Claire Littlefield has devised an intelligence coup that could change the tide of the war. But will it work?

"Buzz" Bernard, award-winning author of When Heroes Flew Feeling the mantle of duty lying heavily on their shoulders, the Littlefields are pushed to their limits in the much-anticipated third installment in the AFTER DUNKIRK series. The Blitz is in full force. Bombs rip relentlessly through London, destroying buildings and rattling confidence. How much more can the country--and one family--take? As Britain falls further into chaos, the Littlefields--ever-dedicated--must keep fighting. Their country needs them now, more than ever, and each sibling will be tested in ways they never imagined. Jeremy prepares to fly a mission without his trusted Eagles. But the sudden capture of someone he loves will force him to choose between fulfilling his duty and following his heart. Still held as a POW at a high-security facility, Lance grows more and more desperate to make an escape. And thousands of miles apart, Claire and Paul--both armed with top-secret war intelligence--experience a similar struggle: They know more than they can say. And that knowledge places their siblings in grave danger. Meanwhile, at home and under German occupation on Sark Island, the Littlefield's parents struggle as food becomes scarce and the fire in their bellies is joined by a gnawing hunger. Then, in a move that shocks the entire world, Germany invades Russia. But is it really a surprise to Churchill? What will it mean for Britain--and for the Littlefield family? TURNING THE STORM is a can't-miss, action-packed addition to the saga of four daring siblings willing to sacrifice everything they hold dear in order to save their country--and do each other proud. ____________________________ Praise for Lee Jackson and the AFTER DUNKIRK series: "...an exceptional work of historical fiction..." --Lieutenant General Rick Lynch, US Army (Ret.)

Book Synopsis Wreck Recovery In Britain by : Peter J Moran
Download or read book Wreck Recovery In Britain written by Peter J Moran and published by After the Battle. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas on the Continent, the Missing Research and Enquiry Unit left no stone unturned to try to trace the thousands of airmen who still remained missing, strangely enough no similar operation was carried out by the RAF on crash sites in the United Kingdom. Many of these still contained the mortal remains of pilots whose names had been added to the Memorial to the Missing unveiled at Runnymede in 1953. It is difficult to understand today how it took so long for the realization to sink in that aircraft wreckage still remained buried. When it did, there followed what can only be described as an unholy scramble to find crash sites and dig them up, heavy plant being employed to make it easier and quicker. At the height of this unfettered exploration period during the 1970s, there were over 30 ‘aviation archaeology’ groups at work, particularly in the counties of Essex, Kent and Sussex. Unrecovered human remains were now being found which understandably raised criticism from some quarters. Inevitably order had to be restored and the Ministry of Defence stepped in with a ‘code of conduct’ for digging up crashed aircraft, a measure that was reinforced by an Act of Parliament in 1986. Thereafter a process was introduced whereby the Ministry issued licenses before a wreck site could be excavated, and every license application, whether granted or refused, is listed for the first time in this book.
