    Exciting Story of Heroism, Romance and Philosophical Reflection
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2022*

Having read several of author Helena Schrader's excellent novels about the Battle of Britain, her latest, Moral Fibre is another exciting, excellent and poignant read!  I could not put it down as I was drawn quickly into the life of bomber pilot "Kit" Moran.  His personal history of being deemed LMF, lacking in moral fibre, for refusing to fly a mission drew me immediately into his inner emotional life,  After being examined by a psychiatrist in terrific back-and-forth dialogue, he is then released back to flying by being allowed to train as a pilot,The title of the book Moral Fibre is very apt as there are three aspects of it in the novel, I think.  First is the moral fibre of steeling oneself to do what has to be done, i.e. fly dangerous missions bombing Germany.  The second is said by Rev. Reddings in his sermon at a wedding:  he asks if being a survivor of the war is God having "......given us a second chance to demonstrate our moral fibre?.....an obligation to counter lies, prejudice, hatred and arrogance with truth, tolerance, justice and righteousness?"  The third refers to Georgina's moral fibre in her love, care and support of Kit after his war injuries.New to me was the description of how the RAF bomber crews were formed by the process of "crewing up".  Rather than each man being assigned to an aircraft and a particular pilot, the men in a large group chatted with each other and informally coalesced into groups around each pilot until that pilot had a full complement of men committed to flying with him.The missions over Germany were thrillingly described as each man's job was shown in detail during the flights over and back.  How the Lancaster bomber flew, its strength and weakness were all shown via dialogue among the crew and in superb, exciting action.Racism at the particular time of the novel is shown via the thoughts and reactions of Kit and Kit's mother who is of mixed race, as her mother is a from the African Zulu people.  Also, the risk of loving someone very deeply-even though they could be shot down at any moment-is poignantly described through Kit's and Georgina's evolving thoughts and feelings towards each other.The Historical notes, RAF Rank Table,  Note on the RAF term "lack of moral fibre and the Glossary were invaluable in aiding this reader to a deeper understanding of the novel.As well as thrilling action in the air, there are lots of deep thoughts concerning war, romance during wartime, class and racial prejudice during the time period as described by the author.  Many times while reading, I had to put the book down and think about the many excellent philosophical questions Helena Schrader posed.  This is one you will definitely re-read.I can't recommend this superb story highly enough!

    War, Suspense, Love Stories--it's all there!
  

*by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022*

I loved this book.  Like the rest of Ms. Schrader's books, I couldn't put it down once I started.  (So I have to make sure I can sleep in the next day before starting!)  I may be unusual, but I started with her glossary in the back.  Her characters sound like WWII pilots and ground crew, so I wanted to understand the lingo before I started.  We like to think of the bombing crews as handsome, dashing, and brave--but Ms. Schrader's characters are oh so human with strengths and weaknesses.  But put in extraordinary situations.  What would I have done?  Would I have clutched in an actual bombing raid?  And what about the ones who love these soldiers with such depressing odds of surviving?  Do they deny their feelings, like Phillipa, or love knowing that he might not return?  My mother took the latter approach and married my father, she was 16 and he was 19 or 20, before he went overseas.  (Dad came back, obviously, or I would not have been born.)  I also loved learning how characters I met in her previous book, "Lack of Moral Fibre," developed n this book. Great read!

    Many elements making a well told story!
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022*

Well developed characters and great backstory capture life of the young men and women during WWII in Great Britan. If you like fighter pilot action, I was sucked into the sorties over Germany and acquired new knowledge about WWII aircraft. There's complex family relationships, conflicting politics of the time, romance, some supernatural elements, and best of all a well told story. Highly recommend for general fiction, historical fiction, and WWII aeronautical fans!
