When Heroes Flew- Five Days in June

A masterful blend of authentic military drama and human sacrifice from MWSA Gold Medalist H.W. "Buzz" Bernard, perfect for readers of Eye of the Needle by Ken Follett and The Winds of War by Herman Wouk who seek tales of honor, duty, and the extraordinary individuals who shaped our world's most defining moments. June 1944: One weather forecast will determine if D-Day succeeds—or becomes history's greatest military disaster. USAAF Captain Andy Lockhart stands at the heart of history's most pivotal operation, providing the meteorological intelligence that will guide Eisenhower's decision to send 150,000 Allied soldiers across the English Channel. When British and American forecasters deliver conflicting predictions, the liberation of Europe hangs in the balance. But when a German agent seizes Dot, Andy’s sweetheart, from the streets of war-torn London, he faces an agonizing choice—steal the D-Day landing maps, or sacrifice Dot to the viciousness of the Abwehr. With invasion fleets already committed to the treacherous waters and Eisenhower awaiting his meteorologists’ counsel, Andy must navigate a web of espionage and betrayal while safeguarding the operation that could determine the war's outcome. As June storms gather over the English coast, one man's heart-wrenching decision threatens to alter the course of the most audacious military undertaking in human history. ________________________ Praise for FIVE DAYS IN JUNE: “…action-packed, authentic, and deeply respectful of those who serve.” —John Cathcart, President of Military Writers Society of America “…my heart raced right along with the characters.” —Mike Bettes, Emmy Award-winning meteorologist, The Weather Channel “Five Days in June is the book that Buzz Bernard was destined to write.” —Rona Simmons, author of No Average Day: The 24 Hours of October 24, 1944 “…an intriguing subplot of Nazi espionage and a budding romance fraught with peril.” —Tom Moore, former on-camera and lead meteorologist, The Weather Channel
