    In which novel does a Wellington bomber with a crew of five crash land in France?

    Question #77795. Asked by scouser12. (Mar 25 07 10:26 AM)

    		Fair Stood the Wind for France.

    When John Franklin crash lands his Wellington bomber in Occupied France at the height of the Second World War, there are two things on his mind – the safety of his crew and his own badly injured arm. The family of a mill-owner risk their own lives to hide Franklin in their home until he regains his health. But during the balmy summer months that follow, the pilot’s situation becomes increasingly complicated by his feelings for Françoise, the daughter of the house. And as German patrols close in on the area, his only chance of survival is to escape from France.

    One of H. E. Bates’s most enduringly popular novels, Fair Stood the Wind for France is a compelling tale of love and redemption set against the horrors of war.
