In this episode James and Jane continue their chat about Jane's book, Above Us The Stars: 10 Squadron Bomber Command - The Wireless Operator's Story. Jane continues the story of the Pennicott crew, through the summer and autumn of 1943, and into 1944 and discusses the emotional toll of writing about such a difficult subject. Jane reveals  how a chance phonecall transformed the book, and how the story might have differed if she'd written it in 2025. 

Signed copies are available direct from Jane's website at https://www.justcuriousjane.com/store-buy-books/

Plain copies are available from all good booksellers, as well as Amazon. There's also a kindle version if that's your thing https://amzn.eu/d/aT1OfHg
