Fly Boy by Eric Walters
This is the perfect weekend to be tucked away reading a few good books. This morning I finished Fly Boy, and I know this one is going to be a big hit. (in fact I'll probably need more copies than just one.)
It's 1943, and World War Two is raging across Europe and around the globe. Seventeen-year-old Robbie McWilliams can't wait to follow in his father's footsteps and enlist in the Royal Canadian Air Force - he wants to become a spitfire pilot and fight for his country. The only problem is that he's still too young to join. So with a little help from his best friend, Chip, Robbie devises a plan that will allow him to enlist early and keep it a secret from his mother, from his schoolmaster, and most important, from the authorities at the RCAF.
Loads of action, and well researched giving an accurate description of training, flying a Lancaster Bomber, and the personal struggles of War.
