520 $a A social history of the American expatriate experience in Europe between 1939 and 1941, Under A Darkening Sky focuses on a diverse group of expatriate Americans. Hundreds of young Americans{u2015}like the aces James Goodison, Art Donahue, and the wealthy playboy Billy Fiske, who was the first American volunteer in the RAF to die in action during the Battle of Britain{u2015}smuggled themselves into Canada so that they could volunteer for the cockpits of Spitfires and Hurricanes, as they flew against the deadly Luftwaffe over ever-darkening skies in London. Told through the eyes and observations of the characters caught up in these events, the story unfolds alongside a war that slowly drags a reluctant United States into its violent embrace.
