'Jack’s story has all of life displayed in one ordinary family’s experience of war. Based on actual letters and news articles penned by Jack Calder, his niece Patricia has crafted an epistolary novel that takes the reader into the thick of WWII. Jack is an intriguing, intrepid, winsome character whose letters are redolent of both his own temperament and the temper of the times.'-Mike Mason, best-selling author of The Mystery of Marriage, The Blue Umbrella (MikeMasonBooks.com) 'I Flew into Trouble, an epistolary story, offers an insightful glimpse into the WWII lives of Jack Calder, RAF Navigator, his family in Canada, and his love in Ireland. This heartfelt, well researched testimony takes readers through the personal hopes and price of war.'-Kathryn MacDonald’s most recent book is Far Side of the Shadow Moon (https://kathrynmacdonald.com)'Patricia Calder has crafted a lively, engrossing narrative of her Uncle Jack’s WWII RCAF service. Calder’s fiction is buttressed by careful research, but the real power of this story lies in its emotional beats, as Jack and his loved ones navigate the war years from an ocean apart.' -Sarah Glassford, co-ed. Making the Best of It: Women and Girls of Canada and Newfoundland during the Second World War'Using her grandmother’s scrapbook as her inspiration and narrative foundation, Patricia Calder has recreated the experiences of having a son in active combat for modern readers. I Flew into Trouble is a compelling read and a reminder of the deeply personal tolls that fell on many Canadian families during World War II.'-Heidi LM Jacobs, author of 1934: The Chatham Coloured All-Stars Barrier Breaking Year
