On Oct 22 2011, ADABAR said:
SWING by SAILOR by Catherine Dyson. It is a book written on the stories of a selected number of 700 Australian brides and finances who were about to board the aircraft carrier, HMS VICTORIOUS, bound for England in Autumn 1946 after conclusion of World War 2. They were leaving their families and their country to be reunited with their husbands and future husbands - the English sailors and airmen who had been based in Australia during WW2 and who had won their hearts.The book is a fascinating story of their voyage and arrival in England and their adjustment to a very different life in U.K.
