Offering an inside look at military family life spanning WWII through the Korean and Vietnam Wars, this memoir not only chronicles the heroism of those in combat, but also that of the wives and families at home as they live under the constant shadow of potential loss. Married at the age of 22 to a dashing young jet pilot, young bride Gilberta Guth embarked on what was for many years a global journey, following her husband all over the world as he pursued his career. From their honeymoon in Las Vegas to an Ichibon sayonara and a St. Gobain au revoir to his final assignment in civilian life, she stood by his side and raised their four children. In the process she learned to cope with the tragic death of young pilots and how the other wives and family members comforted the widows and helped them pack up their children and leave the familial embrace of the military. Reproductions of letters, photos, and newspaper clippings further enrich this moving account of the challenges faced by a military family in both wartime and peacetime.

'Needle-sharp' The Observer 'The wartime life of a fighter pilot's wife, very real and poignant... excellent' Times Literary Supplement Despite receiving critical acclaim when first published in 1942 as Pilot's Wife's Tail: Diary of a Camp Follower has remained out of print since the war until now This 2023 Spitfire Publishers' edition decodes the real names of the pilots and place names redacted by the wartime censor Newly-married in summer 1940, David and Esther fought the Battle of Britain together. David from the cockpit of his eight-gun Hawker Hurricane fighter, Esther confronting wartime bureaucracy for the right to stay at his side. Esther followed her husband as his fighter squadron moved across South East England battling the RAF, landladies, Military Police and later, hospital nurses. She dodged bombs, witnessed massed dogfights between 'the Few' and the Luftwaffe, well aware David could be fighting for his life. On the 3 September the dreaded call came, David had been shot down and forced to bale-out of his burning Hurricane... ABOUT THE AUTHOR Esther Terry Wright married David Hunt in June 1940 in Marylebone, London. Her memoir of life as a fighter pilot's wife at the height of the Battle of Britain was first published by John Lane in 1942, and broadcast by the BBC as a radio play in 1943. David joined the RAF in August 1939, and the newly-formed (and much-troubled) 257 Squadron on 17 May 1940. He fought almost daily for the first two months of the Battle of Britain, probably destroying a Junkers Ju87 and damaging a Messerschmitt Me110. David was shot down on 3 September 1940 and suffered grievous burns. He had become trapped in his burning Hurricane, the hood of his cockpit jammed from damage inflicted by the attacking German fighter. Amazingly, David battled his way out of his Hurricane using the emergency axe fitted for such a purpose and designed by his father, Bernard Hunt, MD of the family business, the Chillington Tool Company. He spent almost a year being treated by the RAF's pioneering plastic surgeon, Archibald McIndoe, and became a member of his 'Guinea Pig Club'. He would endure months of painful surgery alongside fellow fighter pilots, Richard Hillary and Tom Gleave (who both also wrote memoirs of their experiences) in an attempt to repair the damage to his hands and face, and allow him to return to active flying duties. Esther accompanied him throughout, moving address over forty times, and nursing him personally much of the time he spent in hospital. After the war, Esther and David had two children together, Charles and Andrew. After the couple divorced in the late 1950s, David emigrated to New Zealand and worked as an accountant. He returned to Britain for the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Esther continued to write and published two novels, The Prophet Bird (1958) and A Vacant Chair (1979). Esther died in 1984, David in 2002.

Throughout the annals of time, intelligent design has had His hand in producing millions upon billions of souls. For the sake of propagating our species we have been designed in His image. Our divine Maker in all of His glory intended on giving us a fighting chance of survival. The right to exist. In this enterprise we call life, there are absolutely zero guarantees. Every now and again, He would produce a Mary Magdalene, a Joan of Arc, a mother Teresa, or Golda Meir. Aside from giving us His very own Son, every once in several millennium he would create a soul, nearly as perfect as his own. Such a soul is a reflection of His perfect love. A love with an incarnate heart which is as unconditional, undying and as selfless as our divine Maker’s. At this moment, a choir of Archangels would sing out in a glorious celestial chorus. On these rare occasions, He would have smiled with a twinkle in His eye. The creation of yet another miraculous masterpiece.

Consuelo sat watching her air force pilot husband pack his flight bag and prepare for a mission. The mission was for an undetermined number of days to an unspecified location. He could not tell her where he was going nor how long he would be away. She was a seasoned military wife. She knew not to ask. Jeff was a B-2 bomber pilot. She sat quietly trying to beat back tears as she became lost in memories of their lives together. She had to be strong. She didn’t want to show signs of weakness and give him anything to worry about on the home front. She dreaded the lonely days and nights that lay ahead while she waited and wondered where he was, and if he was safe. She knew she would be notified if he wasn’t. Days later, Jeff called. “It is just a cat and mouse, waiting game. We are hoping against hope and praying with all our might that we do not have to take off unless it is to return home. We are waiting for the other shoe to fall.” “Oh Jeff, we are praying that cool heads will prevail, and that the enemy doesn’t decide to escalate the rhetoric with his threats. The world is holding its breath.” As they were saying their goodbyes, Consuelo could hear the alert horn sounding over the phone. Jeff quickly said, “Goodbye, honey. Love you Gotta go.” And the line went dead. Consuelo sat in stone silence praying for his safety and for all the other pilots and military personnel who were scrambling to their duty stations and airplanes because of impending danger. She prayed silently that it was a false alarm and not a real and present danger to America or our allies.
