Publisher's summary

In the tradition of great war stories about air combat comes Sunward I've Climbed.

Frank A. Mason, the award-winning author of the Amazon bestselling Journeyman Chronicles of the American Revolution, has applied his personal knowledge of military flying with extensive research into the Second World War to craft the story of a young man bitten by the bug of flying and seduced by the deadly thrill of air combat.

The cover of Sunward I've Climbed reached the top ten in the AllAuthor January 2024 competition and perfectly illustrates the story. It is 1939, and Trip Gibson returns to Georgia Tech after flying fighter planes in the Spanish Civil War. Trip and his college friends are interested in women, fun, flying, and football games, but war clouds gather in Europe. As Nazi aggression and British determination fill the headlines, the war tocsin sounds, and Trip feels the pull to return to flying combat.

Trip leaves his family and best girl behind to fight for freedom and glory. But to get there, Trip must avoid arrest by his own government, cross the U-boat-infested waters of the North Atlantic, and navigate the politics of France in the throes of war.

Flying the world’s most powerful fighter planes is exhilarating and punctuated by fear and death. Trip and other adventurous young American flyers quickly become men as they challenge the dangerous world of air combat against a skilled and determined foe.

What will become of Trip? How will he cope with combat and loss? Who among his compatriots will die, and who will achieve fame?

Award-winning writer Frank A. Mason’s Sunward I’ve Climbed is Book One of the Sunlit Silence Series on the Air War in WWII.
