Description
It's 1940 and Britain is at war with Germany. Susan Banks longs to do her duty, inspired by reports of Amy Johnson's remarkable exploits. She dreams of learning to fly - to serve her country and realise her dream.
But as a foundling, unwanted and dependent on strangers for her welfare, she knows it's out of the question for a girl like her. Just when she fears being trapped forever in servitude and loneliness, she meets Tony Richards, a flying instructor based in Hampshire. Circumstances force her to flee London, where she finds refuge with the kindly landlord of a local inn and his daughter.
As Susan works hard to earn her keep and her friendship with Tony blossoms into love, she dares to hope that things are at last looking up for her. But then she receives devastating news - Tony is missing in action. Will she ever see the man she loves again and realise her dream of becoming a Spitfire Girl?
