Roderick, nicknamed Jerry for reasons that must have been comically derogatory at the time, was flying an Anson bomber back and forth across the English Channel to keep track of shipping. On his off hours, he was building a model ship, listening to America on a home-made wireless and courting Mona. Mona was a social class below the real air officer Chambers; real opposed to wartime temporary officer. Mona was attracted to Chambers but resisted getting too involved with him at first, due to the social class difference between them. Buone/ottime condizioni. V253
