Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Wings over England" by Roy J. Snell is a fictional novel likely written in the early 1940s. The book captures the dramatic backdrop of World War II, focusing on the lives of characters like Cherry Ramsey and Dave Barnes, as they find themselves caught amid air raids and the threat of enemy bombers over England. Themes of camaraderie and courage are interwoven throughout the narrative as the characters confront the realities of war and its impact on their lives. The opening portion introduces readers to Cherry Ramsey, who is enjoying a serene autumn day in the English countryside when an enemy aircraft suddenly interrupts her peace, foreshadowing the coming conflict. As Cherry, along with local boys, witnesses a German bomber in the sky, their conversations reveal the imminent dangers of war. Cherry's loyal collie, Flash, and her concern for the safety of her family serve as emotional anchors. The tension escalates with the bombings, leading Cherry to dash towards the site of destruction, reflecting both her bravery and deep connection to her childhood memories. This compelling mix of innocence disrupted by harsh realities sets the stage for a gripping tale of resilience in the face of adversity.
