OverviewIt's 1939. Eighteen-year-old apprentice Jack Norwood seizes an opportunity to learn to fly when a nearby aerodrome is taken over as an RAF training reserve. Flying becomes the most exciting thing he's done. When Britain declares war with Germany, Jack and his best friend volunteer as trainee pilots. Within a year he is fighting gut-wrenching aerial ops under summer skies in the Battle of Britain. He and his fellow pilots experience friendship and loss, exhilaration and terror. Jack's dual war service takes him from a near drowning episode on a torpedoed destroyer in the Arctic Circle, to the Tropics where he finds himself undergoing the 'Crossing of the Line' naval ritual. Once he'd teased his best mate for writing letters to a girlfriend, yet a year later he's doing the same thing. None of the lads can be certain of their own survival. Sometimes he wonders how long can his luck last?
