Jeanne Blanchette guided her Spitfire through the low-hanging winter clouds, ducking below the ceiling only now and again to confirm her heading. This was no kind of weather to be flying in, but the Armee de l’Air needed their planes, and as soon as one was fit to fly, one of the ferry pilots would be called from the barracks to take it out to its destination. British Spitfires and some P-51s were replacing the Dewoitine D.520s, despite much anguish on the part of the French pilots. Still, it could not be denied that the Spitfire was, in every way, superior to her French counterpart. Jeanne loved the way they handled in every way, and whenever she had to turn her charge over at the end of a flight a part of her mourned at giving it up. They called to her soul, these lovely creatures of war. They called to her heart.
