1 y separately published work icon Wings above the Storm Linda Webb Burge , Melbourne : Linda Webb Burge , 1944 Z801499 1944 single work novel war literature 'This is a story that will make strong appeal to all who love Australia and have abiding faith in its destiny...It takes the reader through scenes of the pioneering days of the Murray River; the gold-rush to Western Australia and on to the days of the Great War. The Englishman who settled on the Murray in the early fifties of the last century had two grandsons - one born and reared in Germany. These two boys meet and fight each other in a thrilling battle of the air, when the Australian is downed and taken prisoner and is quartered with his own relations. While in Germany he has a tempestuous love affair with a beautiful gypsy with whom he is infatuated, but, when the Australians break the famous Hindenburg line, she is enraged and leaves him. After the Armistace, he sees part of the revolution which swept Germany; then he returns to peace and happiness in his own country with his Australian sweetheart.' - from the Foreword by The Rt. Hon. W. M. Hughes, M.P.
