EDITORS COMMENTS
The illustrated front cover of "Pilot's Wife's Tale" transports us back to the heart of World War II, circa 1942. The image depicts a woman gazing up into the night sky, illuminated by searchlights piercing through the darkness. Her expression is one of longing and worry, perhaps waiting for her pilot husband to return safely from his mission. Authored by Esther Terry Wright, herself the wife of an R.A.F. pilot, this story book offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those left behind during wartime. Through her words, we are invited to step into the shoes of these brave women who held their families together while their loved ones were off fighting in distant skies. As we reflect on this image and its historical context, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during WW2. The courage and resilience displayed by both soldiers and their families serve as a testament to the human spirit in times of adversity. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the untold stories that lie behind every war - tales of love, loss, and unwavering strength in the face of uncertainty.
