Where Eagles Dare Not Fly

Book V of the Sunlit Silence Series

“Some men fly for glory—Trip Gibson flies because he must.”

From the pen of award-winning author Frank A. Mason comes Where Eagles Dare Not Fly, a soaring new chapter in the Sunlit Silence Series.

It’s January 1943, and Lieutenant Colonel Trip Gibson’s 14th Fighter Group—decimated in North Africa—has been withdrawn from combat. Summoned by General Henry “Hap” Arnold, Trip joins fellow aviators Philip Cochran and Johnny Alison to create a revolutionary air force: the First Air Commandos. Their mission will become one of the most audacious operations of World War II—airlifting Brigadier Orde Wingate’s Chindits behind Japanese lines in the Burmese jungle.

As Trip navigates the chaos of war, he also wrestles with the ghosts of his past—his vanished lover Lady Barbara Alcock, the loss of Constance Rose Fawcett-Borley, and his estranged sweetheart Ruby Daye, now touring the world with the USO. Driven by his addiction to flight—and to danger—Trip is drawn into a mission that will test his courage, loyalty, and heart like never before.

Sweeping from the scorched deserts of North Africa to the mist-shrouded jungles of Burma, Where Eagles Dare Not Fly captures the daring, heartbreak, and valor of the pilots who redefined air warfare—and the man who risked everything to go where even eagles have not flown.

“The sky was his refuge—and his reckoning.”
