It is 1921 and James Marsh is an engineer at the British government's Air Ministry, working on the groundbreaking R.38 airship. The largest aircraft in the world, and incorporating design features from Zeppelins shot down in the First World War, the R.38 takes to the skies on its first flight amongst much publicity. However, there are issues with the R.38's performance and James and his colleagues set about resolving them so that the airship can be delivered to its demanding American customer. After weeks of hard work, before flying across the Atlantic to its new home, the R.38 embarks on its final test flight.

Years later, Tom Marsh, James's youngest son, joins the RAF to do his bit for the war effort. Keen to see action before the war comes to an end, Tom starts active service in 1945 at 576 Squadron - flying as a rear gunner in the famous Lancaster Bomber. However, as he embarks on combat missions to German cities and encounters the terrifying realities of war, Tom realises that his eagerness to fight may have been premature.

As the stories of James and Tom intertwine, heart-wrenching parallels, paradox and poignancy emerge. Inspired by historical events, His Ways Were Good is a moving novel about courage, engineering, death and faith.
