Éditions Le Lombard
A new comic book, the first volume of which focuses on the most famous episode in the Battle of Britain… the Blitz.
September 1940-May 1941. The skies over England, and London in particular, are the scene of incessant bombing and almost daily attacks by the air force of the Third Reich. The people of London are trying to survive, even live, whether in the Tube stations when the sirens are sounding or in between air raid warnings. An atmosphere of fear and melancholy grips the British capital, as well as the surrounding countryside…
Young Kate Kavendish, a pilot assigned to the air transport service, is tasked with delivering aircraft (Spitfires, Lancasters, etc.) to the fighter squadrons trying to fend off the formidable German Messerschmitts and Junkers (or Stuka) by any means necessary. She secretly loves her cousin’s husband, but has promised to put her feelings aside in order to carry out her many missions. Proud and independent, she must nevertheless be highly vigilant. For danger lurks everywhere, whether on the streets of London or in the air.
High-level aerial scenes, espionage, emotions… All the ingredients of a great aviation story are here in this first volume of the “Ciel d’orages” series, and there’s more to come!
