Flight to Arras

Review:

A superb memoir, highly detailed account of a single wartime flight in the last days of France in 1940 before she fell to Germany.

Gets very philosophical in the last chapter, but it makes sense.

Redefines what we think of as courage, heroism, perseverance, sacrifice.

A short, fast, beautiful read.

This book made me want to: never mock the French army again
