Under a War-Torn Sky is a young adult war novel about a young
man flying a B-24 in World War II. When his plane is shot down and he is
trapped behind enemy lines, he is helped by kind French citizens to escape and
get back to his home. Written by American author L.M. Elliott, the novel was
first published in 2001. It won a number of awards on publication and has sold
over 200,000 copies in the U.S. and abroad. Elliott drew inspiration for the
novel from her father, who served in World War II. He was a bomber pilot in
real life and was shot down behind enemy lines, much like the main character in
the novel. The sequel to this novel, A Troubled Peace, came out in August,
2009.
