Description
The Spitfire Kids: A Story of Love and Loss in the Battle for Britain's Skies In 1940, the fate of Britain hung in the balance. But it was not the grown men and women who fought to defend their country that won the day, but rather a generation of teenagers who risked everything to design, build and fly the iconic Spitfire fighter plane. Using previously unpublished diaries and memoirs, this book tells the story of the Spitfire through the voices of the young people who made it possible. It's not a tale of heroism or bravery, but one of love, loss and endurance. The result is a powerful and moving account of how a group of teenagers turned the tide of war in Britain's favour. Their story is one that will leave you moved and inspired by the courage and determination of these young heroes who helped shape the course of history.
