After reading about Boy's car wreck and Gabrielle's shock and grief, I discovered from you that she was driven to Cannes, a twelve hour drive. I can't imagine driving that many hours to reach the one I loved. So, I began to wonder what was the status of the airplane at this time in History?

I'd also love to know your favorite historical fiction books or authors, if you read the genre!
