What Happened To The Corbetts: A surprise aerial bombing of twenty cities, the first of many attacks, occurs in England. Young solicitor Peter Corbett, wife Joan, and their small three children leave Southampton after their home and Corbett's offices are damaged, friends are killed and a cholera epidemic breaks out after disruptions to the water and power supplies. They move aboard their small yacht, kept on the river Hamble, but as disease spreads and supplies diminish they set sail, hoping to find safety... Pastoral: World War II pilot Peter Marshall leads the most successful bombing crew at his airbase, having survived an unusual number of extremely dangerous missions over Germany. However, when Peter falls hopelessly in love with an attractive WAAF officer - one who insists that wartime duties should take precedence over emotions - his concentration begins to suffer. Soon it looks as though his perfect run of successful missions may be at risk - along with the lives of Peter and his men - unless she can be persuaded to relent. Illustrated by Rosemary Neale.
