Richard J Curtis had a father who was a medic in WWII and a father-in-law who was a fighter pilot. Their stories inspired the writing of this book. A pilot himself, he has a strong interest in aviation stories. He lives with his wife Nicola in the coastal town of Whanganui, in New Zealand. This is his first novel.
On 14 February 1945, the Allies fire-bombed Dresden, killing tens of thousands and starting a political row and propaganda war that lasted years. James Dalton leads the Pathfinder group that pinpoints the target with flares, ensuring maximum destruction is done. The raid is proclaimed a success, or an atrocity, depending on which side of the propaganda machine you are on.
In a subsequent mission, Dalton crashes and is horribly burnt himself. In the ensuing decade, he struggles with his disfigurement and a tormented soul that holds him accountable for a war crime.
In Dresden, a young boy survives the fire-storm and escapes to England. Years later, he and Dalton meet and Dalton emerges from alcoholism and PTSD to find spiritual healing and love through a gift that he unwittingly gave the young boy in Dresden in 1945.
