August 1940

August 1940... The young pilots of Hornet Squadron have returned to the South Coast of England... Morale has been low but fresh aircraft and pilots are arriving to prepare for the mighty anticipated German attack. The new boys are ribbed by the 'old hands' and, with the tension of constant readiness, simple pranks can easily get out of hand. But the glorious days of high summer mean that the enemy come over in endless waves, and the Squadron Leader has his hands full keeping the hard-pressed pilots at their sharpest.
