Duty Calls: Battle of Britain: World War 2 Fiction

By James Holland

Book Overview

See World War II up close, and get thrown deep into the heart--and horror--of Britain's darkest, and finest, hour

Pilot officer Archie Jackson, 19, is in control of the RAF's newest fighter aircraft, a Supermarine Spitfire. Now he has the Luftwaffe in his sights and only one thing matters: defending Britain. Suddenly planes are falling from the sky, exploding and spiraling into the English Channel. France has fallen and the swastika flies over Occupied Europe. Only these young pilots--barely out of boyhood--stand between Britain and a Nazi invasion . . .
