unlikely pilot [collins]

their paths have crossed many times but they never noticed. pilots in separate squads, brought together by a shortage of skilled pilots.

dunkirk. that was their stop.

she was following in her father's footsteps of becoming a pilot. she traded her high end life in london for a life at high altitude, being the housewife stereotype is something she isn't about to let get in her way of becoming a professional pilot. the second world war bought her may opportunities to showcase her flying skills and although it may be a bit different from the first one, the planes fly the same way.

he is from a little scottish harbour village called mallaig. he's the only one from the village to get involved with the war, everyone called him crazy and said that this isn't his war. planes were never his thing but neither were the trenches. he grew up around the ocean so the navy would've been the best option but something about being 5,000 feet in the sky intrigued him and lured him in. after running away from the safety of the trenches he took off on his adventure in the sky only to find that there's a lot more to remember when being a pilot.
