Summary
It was only a split second. No time to change his course, no time to prepare himself for the impact, no time for any thoughts beyond the realisation that this was final. A scream, the sickening tearing of canvas, the final roar of two colliding engines, then a painfully long fall as the tangled mass of machines and men plummeted to Earth. It was all over. Until it wasn't.
My second attempt at Croft Lives, heavily inspired by the very interesting official novelisation.

Summary
Gresham, Katherine, and Croft himself all know that he shouldn't have survived the horrific crash that apparently claimed his life.
But he did.
While Croft lies maimed and imprisoned in a German Lazarett, his family struggle to cope with his supposed loss. Gresham spirals further and further into his grief and guilt over his brother-in-law's death. The newly-married Katherine desperately throws herself into her work as the realities of war, which she had thought herself well-aware of, suddenly strike far too close to home.
