Renée Shann

[from inner dj flap] When a girl puts on the uniform of her country it does not mean that she forswears romance, as Sue Bradford was to discover when she became a member of the Women's Royal Naval Service -- in other words, a WREN.

She was stationed at a great base of the Fleet Air Arm that was near enough to London for the WRENS and the young naval officers to go there on pass to dine and dance.

In the vast upheaval of war, human destinies are buffeted about and assume strange shapes. Life for Sue proved very complicated as she became inextricably enmeshed in as perplexing and trying a problem as ever a loyal and loving young heart had to face.

Renée Shann has made the chronicles of the new women soldiers her own special territory and has written several widely popular stories of the kind, among them TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LEAVE, WAR WIFE, and AIR FORCE GIRL. The dramatic love story that is told in AIRMAN'S WIFE should make it one of her most successful books.
