Publisher's Synopsis
Pearl has given up on her dreams of becoming a journalist after being denied a promotion because of her gender. Instead, she joins the WAAF as a radio telephone operator for Bomber Command. Her 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. Despite her new role, her journalism background doesn't go to waste - 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 Thea, she finds herself up against the clock to prove her sister's innocence...
