Boyhood pals embark on the adventure of a lifetime by enlisting in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942. FLYING TO GLORY follows their journeys, from learning to fly in Canada's wide open skies, through every phase of training, to crewing dangerous sorties in Halifax bombers over occupied Europe. Their loved ones on the home-front, their friendships, the dreams, the loneliness, the fears and hopes and sorrows are vividly brought to life in this deeply moving drama - the first play to chronical this amazing R.C.A.F. history with all in the moment action and conflict (there's no "I remember whens"). The book is not only a great play, it's also a terrific read.

"Flying To Glory is one of the liveliest and most pertinent historical plays
ever written in and about Canada." John Murrell

"Sandra Dempsey's poetic eloquence, wit and impressive knowledge of wartime history, aviation, and military idiom combine to make Flying To Glory a poignant, stirring, and life-affirming dramatic tribute to the men and women who helped Canada make a valiant contribution to Allied supremacy during the Second World War." Brian Brennan 

"A fine piece of work and a well written story. Scenes are bang on." John Neal, R.C.A.F. (ret'd)
