About this listen

Over 14 days at the heart of the Battle of Britain, Spitfire pilots Jack and Alex struggle to survive the savage battles raging in the air over Southern England.

Several times a day, they fly against overwhelming odds, witnessing the death and disfigurement of friends and enemies, and wrestling with the knowledge that the same could happen to them at any moment.

Brief periods on the ground offer little respite, with Biggin Hill subjected to frequent air raids, during which many more friends are killed.

Both Jack and Alex find love, but the battle takes its toll.

I enjoyed the book. The story was interesting as I had not read any books about this subject before. The narration was good for the book character speaking but the narration between did not have the correct rhythm, cadence and intonation. I enjoyed it enough to plan to read the other books in the series.

Enjoyed. Don't be put off by the start narration.

Easy to get involved in the story line. Good overall mix of flying and groundcrew storylines.

Well presented story

Really gripping and dramatic tail.
Biggest surprise was the character development, and not just the Fighter Pilots.
Left me wanting to know what happened next 👍

Fantastic story telling

Great story of a an heroic time. Story telling exceptional as was the performance. Be aware some interludes of an almost adult content, a little unnecessary for the story plot

Amazing dogfight of a book
