Description
This story is about a boy named Per who lives on a mountain and dreams of flying. When his country is invaded by enemies, Per and his friends are forced to make a long journey over the sea to safety, but when they arrive, they don't want to live in comfort while their people live under tyranny. Per makes an even longer journey across the ocean where he trains as a fighter pilot so he can fly for freedom and justice.
Wings for Per, by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire, is a charmingly illustrated story based loosely on the life of Ingri's nephew, Per Bugge, who grew up and lived in Norway until the German occupation in 1940 and flew in the Royal Air Force against the Nazis in World War II. This book was first published during WWII, and was recently republished with the historic story behind the book included in the back. 60 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel E.
