From the author of the WW2 Novels, THE BEAUTY SHOP and MADAME FIOCCA, comes a gripping, heart wrenching story of a Spitfire pilot caught up in the storm of the Dunkirk evacuations in France, 1940.
May 1940: Hitler’s blitzkrieg storms through France, forcing Allied forces into retreat towards the coast at Dunkirk. With nowhere left to flee, thousands of soldiers wait on the beaches for rescue while the Luftwaffe bomb and strafe from the skies above.
Churchill is determined to rescue as many men as possible, for without her army, Britain is sunk. A plan is hatched to evacuate the men from the beaches by sea, but it will take the combined strength of all the forces to ensure its success.
Sam, a young RAF Spitfire pilot flies sorties daily over France, engaging the enemy in the skies over Dunkirk. He is determined to protect the men trapped on the beaches below and give them a fighting chance of returning to home shores.
Day after day he returns to base when others do not. He witnesses friends shot down by the Luftwaffe, sometimes lost at sea. And each time he wonders when his luck will run out, yet still, he returns to the hell in the skies. Survival is Victory, friendship a daily sacrifice.
Remember the glorious ‘Few’ by reading about those remarkable times, and in doing so, remember all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and humanity. Lest We Forget.
An emotional and evocative 20th century tale of the courage and heroism of Churchill's "Few" based on true events. Perfect for fans of Robert Radcliffe and Laura Hillenbrand.
