Series: Duty Calls

Pilot officer Archie Jackson, 19, is in control of the RAF's newest fighter aircraft, a Supermarine Spitfire.

Now he has the Luftwaffe in his sights and only one thing matters- defending Britain.

Suddenly planes are falling from the sky, exploding and spiralling into the English Channel.

France has fallen and the swastika flies over Occupied Europe. Only these young pilots - barely out of boyhood - stand between Britain and a Nazi invasion . . .

Duty Calls- Battle of Britain, throws you deep into the heart - and horror - of Britain's darkest, and finest, hour.

Reviews for Duty Calls: Battle of Britain: World War 2 Fiction

""Plenty of action. . . sharp dialogue and swift characterisation. The whole is intelligently structured so that this is absorbing and thoughtful as well as tense and exciting."" --Daily Telegraph on Blood of Honour
