Night Skies

An American pilot joins the Royal Air Force during the early years of World War II. After an important mission, he and his crew realize they just want to get back home.

Here’s the trailer.

16 December 1940

Ted Miller looked at his watch and shook his head slightly.  No time to phone his wife.  He’d told her he would try, but she knew what it was like being married to a Royal Air Force pilot.

They’d met last Christmas, when they’d all been a lot more optimistic about the future.  The war had just begun, and they’d had no idea how much England would be challenged by this fight, but he and Alison did have something to celebrate this year.

“Come on, Ted,” Jimmy said, slapping him on the shoulder.  “We’re finally getting payback for Coventry.”

“Did you hear the good news?” Roger asked as he joined them.  “Seems our Yank friend here is going to be a father.  Although, I still don’t know how he convinced my wife’s sister to marry him.  I thought she had more sense than that.”

“Congratulations!” Jimmy said, shaking Ted’s hand.  “Don’t you worry, we’ll get you home in one piece.”  Jimmy smiled.  “Then, it’s drinks all around!”
