Fair Stood the Wind for France by H E Bates
When John Franklin brings his plane down into Occupied France at the height of the Second World war, there are two things in his mind, the safety of his crew and his own badly injured arm. It is a stroke of unbelievable luck when the family of a French farmer risk their lives to offer the airmen protection.-
