Chapter 51 also ends with a descriptive round-up of sexual adventures of common folk during the war. It's not adding much to the overall story.

Chapter 44 includes a descriptive account of a random young woman losing her virginity because of the life uncertainty with the Battle of Britain. I'm not convinced that this addition was necessary to the chapter on the first big bombing of London. I would want my youngest teens to skip this anecdote if I assign this to them.

Note to self if having my girls read: ch 17 gets into Randolph's sexual peccadillos and has some coarse language.
