Jimmy Alexander was a product of two nations. Born in England and raised in Canada. Guided by his father, an Army General, and his grandfather, the Bishop of Quebec, he grew up during a time of peace and prosperity between the two world wars. Like other boys his age, he studied hard, played sports, chased girls, and dreamt about his future. But in September 1939, when he was twenty-one, everything changed. He had come of age just in time to fight the next war. Within a year, he was a bomber pilot in Britain’s Royal Air Force.In the Briefing Room at the Attlebridge airfield in Norfolk, England, on August 28, 1941, Jimmy receives orders to bomb enemy targets on the Continent. But poor weather delays his takeoff. With nothing to do but wait, his thoughts turn to memories of his childhood, what inspired him to serve, the chaos of this war, and his love for his young wife and son. As he reflects on his life, he speaks to us across time in a voice that is both haunting and unforgettable.This is a story about conflict and the early years of World War II, when Britain found itself alone, fighting for its survival against Hitler’s powerful army and air force. But it is also a story about love, family, and commitment to something bigger than ourselves.On The Wing of Eternity is a memoir compiled by Michael Alexander, about his father, told in his father’s own words. It is a witness to a life led with purpose and courage; a testament to the eternal power of the human spirit and the sacrifices we make for the people and places we love.
