Duty Calls: Battle of Britain: World War 2 Fiction

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 . . . "Plenty of action. . . sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and thoughtful as well as tense and exciting."  — Daily Telegraph on Blood of Honour James Holland is the author of numerous historical nonfiction titles and the Jack Tanner fiction series, and presented Battle of Britain: The Real Story on BBC2.
