"All Harry Woods wants to do is fly so he joins the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. However, soon the Second World War starts and he's called up for active duty. This is his first-hand account of the Battle of Britain. Includes historical notes about the Battle and a timeline of events. Suggested level: primary, intermediate, junior secondary."
""Harry Woods joins the RAF during WWII, battling the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. England, 1941. Sometimes I can't remember a time when I didn't have the roar of engines or rattle of machine-guns ringing in my ears. Sometimes it feels as though I've been a fighter pilot all my life-that I had no life before the RAF, before the War, before the Battle of Britain. But I did. Of course I did. Once I was just Harry Woods, a kid like any other kid. And I suppose that's when my story really begins ... Harry joins the RAF to protect his country, only to be called a coward by those who do not understand the battles raging in the air above. He loses friends and nearly loses his life when his plane goes down in the Channel."--The publisher."
