A YANK IN THE R.A.F.

By

Publisher: Random House

Pretty unconvincing tripe, in story of a brush young American pilot who ferries a plane to England, falls for an American girl over there, drops his job and joins the R.A.F. His Wing Commander has an eye on the same girl, an American dancer, but he isn't exciting enough for her -- she's a pushover for Tim, with his daredevil stunts. Topical material rather obviously worked in to give the story authentic touch-distributing pamphlets by planes over the Continent, fall of Holland, Dunkerque, etc. etc. Rentals modern note in romance of a pilot.
