About this ebook

HELEN MULBERRY, the youngest child and only daughter of a wealthy Texas oil tycoon, has always had her every wish granted immediately. When the Germans march into France, no one denies her request to fly her plane to England and help free up a male pilot for combat. Her father’s influence opens doors, and 19 year old Helen joins the Virtues team.

Now under the code-name FAITH, she flies between Britain and France, transporting passengers, supplies, or performing reconnaissance. The Nazis guard their skies with vigor, and Helen learns to fly in combat, land in a field with no lights, and evade the anti-aircraft fire. She masterfully takes on each mission, despite the perceptions and chauvinistic attitudes of many of the male pilots.

Shot down over France during the mission to rescue the agent code named TEMPERANCE from the clutches of the Gestapo, Helen must make her way through enemy territory with no language skills and somehow come through with a means to get her team back to Britain. Can she save them, or will they all find that they have no way out?

FLIGHT OF FAITH is the seventh episode in eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Seven serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery.

Seven valorous women — different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds — come together as a team called the Virtues.

In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtues’ radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear.

Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price.

Continuing the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery.

Ratings and reviews

The Flight of Faith, Part 7 of the Virtues and Valor Series is the final installment of this incredible World War II story. I can emphatically state that this is the most intriguing, well told, gripping story I have ever read from this era. Set in World War II and based from a spy training facility estate in Britain, I have not read anything that matches the heroism, integrity, loyalty, patriotism, self-sacrifice, and friendships that are produced in this amazing work by Hallee Bridgeman. In The Flight of Faith, we learn the background of the fun-loving 19 year old pilot from Lamar, TX, Helen Mulberry, codenamed Faith. She takes England by storm with her charisma and sassy Texas personality. She flies between Britain and France, transporting secret passengers and supplies. Helen has to learn to fly in combat, land in the dark without lights, and evade anti-aircraft fire. Her most important flight is the rescue mission to save her friend and fellow agents from the Nazis. Hallee Bridgeman packs so much action into these serialized novellas that you are literally on the edge of your seat with the nail biting suspense. If you love historical fiction inspired by historical people and

This is the last book in the series. It was a wonderful series and I'm sorry to see it end. It does have a great ending and brings all the books together nicely. This story focuses on Faith, the pilot. Each of the books also has a short biography on the woman that inspired the book. Though the whole series is not true, it IS based lightly on real people. I recommend this series highly. Remember, it is the first edition and there is slight imperfections in the editing, but not bad at all. This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review.

Finally!! The installment that brings it all home!! Faith is a very young lady from Texas who has been taught to fly by her famous but war-broken brother, Eddie. Rules seem to be a nuisance to Faith, and she continually mocks and antagonizes her immediate superior. There is so much action going on in this book, along with twists and turns, I felt like I was riding in Faith's airplane, spinning every which way. What an exciting ride!! Well-done, Hallee!! Again, Hallee Bridgeman's excellent writing, attention to detail, historical recap at the end, plus pictures of cars and planes of the time, make this beyond great! Still pondering some of the discussion questions...If you buy one episode, save yourself some worry, and buy them ALL!! I received this book from bookfun.org in exchange for an honest review.
