About The Book:
Max Bancroft-Gracey was traumatized when his father, an ex-First World War fighter pilot, was critically injured in a car crash.
The life that Max and his father had enjoyed looked as if it would change forever, his father’s Tiger Moth aeroplane now sat in their barn like a lame duck.
But Mr Cartwright, the head gardener, convinced his Master would fly again, regularly mowed the grass runway which lay in front of the manor house.
Would Max’s Pa ever fly again? Max worked on a plan, encouraged by Mr Cartwright, that would get the First World War veteran into the air again.
But everything changes when a Hurricane fighter plane makes an emergency landing at the manor. The young fighter pilot, Tommy Drayton, allows Max and his sister to sit in the cockpit. Then war is declared: Max is determined to become a fighter pilot and events take a different turn…
