THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'An inspirational read celebrating the
incredible young people who gave so much for this iconic British
aircraft'. John Nichol, bestselling author of Spitfire: A Very
British Love Story Despite the many films and television programmes
over the decades since the end of the Second World War that
portrays our allied heroes as grown-up men and women, the Battle of
Britain was in the main actually fought and won by teenagers. The
average age of an RAF fighter pilot was just twenty years old. Many
of the men and women who designed and built their planes were even
younger. Based on the hit BBC World Service podcast Spitfire: The
People's Story, we use contemporary diaries and memoirs, many of
them previously unpublished, to tell the story of the Spitfire
through the voices of the teenagers who risked everything to
design, build and fly her. This isn't a story of stiff-upper lips,
stoical moustaches and aerial heroics; it's a story of love and
loss, a story of young people tested to the very limits of their
endurance. Young people who won a battle that turned a war.
