About this product
Product Information
It is 1944 and as their battered Lancaster Bomber limps home to base in thick fog, an RAF crew are horrified to find a second Bomber just moments in front. It is too close for their own pilot to react, but in one skillful move their forerunner swoops out of the way and the crew's lives are saved. Back on the runway the seven, thankful young men eagerly await their savior's return and are stunned, when the pilot climbs down from the cockpit, to find themselves face to face with female Air Transport Auxiliary pilot Grace Baker. Grace quickly befriends the crew, introducing them to their new Bomber, Tuesday's Child, and ensconcing herself in their spare bunk. Then when rear gunner "Pete the Pole" absconds, the guys don't think twice about asking Grace to secretly take his place in "Tuesday" as they return to Germany. As radio operator Charlie Bassett regales the reader with the drama of combat during his eight weeks aboard Tuesday's Child in 1944, a funny, authentic and deeply humane tale unfolds, racing vividly across the page, emotionally entwining the reader in the lives and friendships of its extraordinary characters, and awakening us to the heroics and realities of war.Product Identifiers

Be prepared to read all six books in the series.
A great tale of aircrew during and after WWII and one Charlie Basset who falls in love with an ATA pilot who sets off on an adventure across Europe with the Red Cross. Because of her rich father in law who is an arms manufacturer and friend of Winston Churchill, Charlie gets recruited to go after her and bring her home. Charlie is supposedly attractive to women and a bit of a shagger so the guys will love this in particularly.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Tuesday’s War
I only discovered David Fiddimore this year, what an amazing story teller! We are told that he was born in 1944 but you could be forgiven for believing that he was there, in Bomber Command, during WWII Charlie, Grace, Grease and the others came alive in the pages of this book and I was utterly absorbed in their story.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A pensioners review
I am an 81 yea old female but really enjoyed it (I don't swear ) but found it a fascinating read and will have to find out what the third of the trilogy is. I have Charlie's war but wouldn't read it till I got Tuesdays. This was a speedy delivery so was pleased. Am starting Charlie's tonight. 👍👍Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
