Hi /lit/,

I originate from /sci/, I was hoping you may be able to help me track down a book. I don't remember the author or the title, but I remember it started with a pilot in the second world war and i think it had a young woman in it too i think she was trying to maybe seduce someone. it was set back in that sort of time, I guess, it could possibly have been a classic. I originally started reading it when I was doing my final year of English in High School.
I googled already.
Picture unrelated.

OP here, I just realized that the woman at the start of the book rode a sleeper train. Or just a train. But yeah.
