Kit’s War
BUY NOW
Seventeen-year-old Kit Dobson is slight, combative and a brilliant mechanic who is fascinated by the extraordinary new world of powered flight. In 1917, Aila Smythe of Stanwood House whose maid Maisie is Kit’s cousin, introduces her to the famous Sopwith Aviation Company. Kit overcomes the contempt and aggression of the male factory workers to become one of the first female pilots to deliver planes across the Channel to the First World War’s front-line squadrons.
Recruited to steal plans from a German spy in London, Kit is already facing murderous retribution when Aila’s half-brother, Dudley, learns of her existence. If a German spy fails to destroy Kit, maybe Dudley will succeed. Maybe.
