About this ebook

Missing, presumed dead...

For Squadron Leader Alex Everton dogfights in his Spitfire have become his way of life. He knows every time he goes up in the air, he might not make it home again, but he’ll keep fighting anyway.

The boys in blue seem to be winning the Battle of Britain, but during a raid over Dieppe the Luftwaffe gain the upper hand and Alex’s spitfire is shot down. Alex expects to either drown in the water beneath him or be incarcerated in a German prisoner of war camp. Instead, he becomes an evader, dodging the enemy as he tries to get back home to Blighty.

If his luck holds, Alex will soon be reunited with his beloved wife Barbara, but it’s a long way from Dieppe to Gibraltar then home and his journey is fraught with danger, disaster and difficulty.

A gripping and authentic tale of courage, duty and bravery, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Patricia McBride and Rosie Clarke.

A gripping, well researched book that I found fascinating, even eye-opening. My father flew bombers & my uncle flew fighters in WWII. My father didn't talk to us (3 girls) about it, though he did talk to my husband whose father also flew bombers. (None of they were shot down.) This book allowed me to enter into an important part of my dad's life in a different way. I loved it & highly recommmend it.
