The Wren and the Swordfish Pilot by Stella Hutchinson

Three women set sail for adventure in a man’s world. When Cathy’s twin brother is called to serve in the Royal Navy, she leaps at the chance to join the Wrens, but she longs to be at sea and prove herself – to fight alongside her brother. Her friend Linda is a motorcycle courier enjoying some freedom for the first time in her life, delivering messages from one top location to another. Rising through the ranks is Wren Officer Anne Foxton, who takes command of a ‘stone frigate’ in the traditional man’s world of the British Navy. It’s a responsible job – and for her – the opportunity of a lifetime. Then into their well-ordered world comes a young Swordfish pilot who has earned himself quite a reputation. Which one of the girls will catch his eye – and what lengths will he go to, to win her?
