Summer 1940

The Battle of Britain converges
with the Arthurian Legend

“…reads true to the times…”

—Second World War Spitfire pilot

Watching aerial combat in the skies above England in the summer of 1940, young Tommy Duncan longs to be part of what he believes will be a grand adventure. He can think of nothing more exciting than flying Spitfires against German fighters and bombers that are crossing the English Channel. Prime Minister Winston Churchill has called the desperate days and weeks England’s “darkest hour” and Tommy is certain he must help.

When a Spitfire crashes near Tommy’s farm, he goes in search of it. His dreams are realized as he also learns of and experiences an earlier dark hour in Britain’s history–that of King Arthur.

It is a tale of youth, love, and legend that puts the reader in the cockpit of a wartime Spitfire.
