Features: That wasn't to be the last time we left pieces of an airplane all over Germany, but you remember your first time. It's just like your first kiss. It is 1944, and as their battered Lancaster bomber limps home to base in thick fog, an RAF crew is horrified to find a second bomber just moments in front. It is too close for their own pilot to react, but in one skillful move, their forerunners swoops out of the way, and the crew's lives are saved. Back on the runway, the seventh thankful young man eagerly awaits his saviors' return and is stunned when the pilot climbs down from the cockpit to find themselves face to face with female air transport auxiliary pilot Grace Baker. Grace quickly befriends the crew, introducing them to their new bomber, Tuesday's Child. Then, when rear gunner Pete the Pole absconds, the lads don't think twice about asking Grace to secretly take his place in Tuesday as they return to Germany... Narrated by Tuesday's radio operator, Charlie Bassett, this enthralling drama of air combat at the height of the Second World War unfolds into a gritty, heartfelt, amusing story of friendships and passions bound by danger and the relief of surviving another day.
