William A FernieMy background as an aeronautical engineer and former flying instructor gives me a unique lens through which I explore the art and science of flight. This lifelong fascination fuels my writing, especially my focus on the often-overlooked interwar year-a time when aviation innovation and international espionage collided in the skies over Europe.In my historical fiction series, I introduce Captain Tom Munro, a seasoned aviator and part-time British Secret Intelligence Service spy. His flying and spying adventures unfold against real historical backdrops, shedding light on the rising tensions between Germany and the rest of Europe in the years between the wars. From the closing days of WWI in Letters to Louisa, to secret diplomatic manoeuvres in Dark Treaty and Rapallo's Shadow, these novels uncover a world of political intrigue and covert operations, where history's best-kept secrets are waiting to be revealed.As Munro's journey progresses into the 1930s, readers will follow him through the rise of Hitler's fascist regime, the swift advancement of aircraft development, and the increasing geopolitical pressures that set the stage for WWII. I aim to blend historical accuracy with gripping tales of espionage, immersing readers in a turbulent era of daring flights, high-stakes diplomacy, and hidden alliances.The next chapter in Captain Munro's journey is underway, and I can't wait to share it with you.William FernieApril 2025 Read More Read Less
