think it’s jolly marvelous that Churchill is our new Prime Minister. I had one of my ground crew sergeants procure a newspaper this evening and have it waiting for me when I came back from a night flight. Did you read about his maiden speech to Parliament today? He told them all he had to offer was his blood, sweat, toil and tears. I don’t know why that moved me, but it did. It seems so completely honest somehow, something that I feel has been lacking of late in Parliament. But what really stood out to me was that he was very clear about what his government’s policy will be moving forward. He said, and I’m going to quote here because I have the paper right beside me, “It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” What a refreshing and welcome change from all the wishy-washy waffling Chamberlain gave us! Churchill leaves no doubt as to what his focus and priority is and, more importantly, he sent a loud and clear message to Herr Hitler today with those words. I couldn’t be more proud to be an Englishman today. At last, we have a leader who will fight along with us. 

We need that more than ever right now. Things don’t seem to be going well over in Belgium. I’ve heard that we’re losing planes over there at an alarming rate. The Luftwaffe is faster and more experienced than us, and the CO thinks we’ll be in a real muddle if it continues. He’s concerned about the fighters, of course. If we keep sending squadrons over, and they keep getting shot down, we’ll have none left to defend England. And if the Jerries succeed in crossing the Meuse, we’ll need to defend England sooner rather than later. 

I’ve heard rumors that the Luftwaffe is targeting citizens, bombing cities and towns, and even attacking the refugees that are pouring out of the cities. I hope to God that’s not true. If it is, I can’t imagine anything more horrific for the Belgian people. I feel very sorry for them, as well as for the French if our troops can’t hold the Nazis back. I have a feeling they’re in for a rather hard time of it. It must be terrifying to be there right now. I’m so very glad we’re safe, for now, within the borders of England. I pray every night that it continues, and we remain free from the horrors they’re experiencing in Europe. 

My eyes are closing now, so I’ll turn out the light and try to sleep again. I’ll dream of you, and hope that you’re well.

Always yours,

FO Miles Lacey

About the Author

CW Browning was writing before she could spell. Making up stories with her childhood best friend in the backyard in Olathe, Kansas, imagination ran wild from the very beginning. At the age of eight, she printed out her first full-length novel on a dot-matrix printer. All eighteen chapters of it. Through the years, the writing took a backseat to the mechanics of life as she explored other avenues of interest. Those mechanics, however, have a great way of underlining what genuinely lifts a spirit and makes the soul sing. After attending Rutgers University and studying History, her love for writing was rekindled. It became apparent where her heart truly lay. Picking up an old manuscript, she dusted it off and went back to what made her whole. CW still makes up stories in her backyard, but now she crafts them for her readers to enjoy. She makes her home in Southern New Jersey, where she loves to grill steak and sip red wine on the patio.

CW loves to hear from readers! She is always willing to answer questions and hear your stories. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
