A Matter of Life and Death

Peter Carter is a Royal Air Force pilot trying to fly a badly damaged and burning bomber back to his base in England after a mission over Germany. The guide sent to escort him to the Other World misses him in the thick fog over the English Channel. The airman wakes up on a beach near June's base, where he assumes he is in the afterlife but discovers to his bewilderment that he is still alive. Peter's visions are diagnosed by June's fascinated friend Doctor Reeves as a symptom of a brain injury.
