Hemingway in Wartime England is the first book dedicated to celebrity American author Ernest Hemingway and his time in England, as a war correspondent. His experiences, the 1944 home-front war and Royal Air Force operations are skilfully interlaced in this deeply researched book. Accredited to the Royal Air Force, Hemingway visited airfields, flew on operations, lived under canvas with the squadrons and carefully observed their struggle to counter the German flying-bomb offensive. He was also accredited to the US Navy and witnessed the D-Day assault, from a landing craft at Omaha beach. Wartime censorship severely restricted Hemingway's magazine article written about D-Day in July 1944. This book throws further light on what happened, utilising unpublished excerpts from a diary written by the young officer who commanded Hemingway's landing craft. The author's research study over ten years draws on unpublished documents from the US and UK national archives and personal probing conversations with veterans. This work contributes to a greater understanding of this under-explored aspect of Hemingway's eventful life. It is a valuable resource for military historians, aviation buffs and readers of Ernest Hemingway.
