It is the Summer of 1940, and France has fallen to the invincible steamroller that is the might of Nazi Germany; Britain now stands alone, and the future looks bleak. Pilot Officer Harry Rose, fresh from training and eager to prove himself, is posted to Excalibur Squadron, a Hawker Hurricane fighter unit based in southern England. In the coming weeks and months of that fateful summer, as the outnumbered RAF battle grimly with the Luftwaffe in the skies above Britain, Rose will come to know what it is to love, and will experience both the glorious euphoria of success and the desperate bitterness of loss. As his friends dwindle in number, Rose knows that it can be only a matter of time before it is his turn...

Harry Rose is back, and must face The Blitz. It is early 1941, and Harry Rose, recently recovered from the injuries he suffered the previous year in the Battle Of Britain, is posted to a Bristol Beaufighter night fighter unit based in eastern England. Defeated by day, the Luftwaffe switch their campaign of bombing to a night one, their aim to overwhelm and subdue the British with a ferocious onslaught that will soon become known as The Blitz. Harry Rose and a small band of British night fighter air crews will join in the defence of their nation, and show the enemy that even in the darkest night, there is nowhere to hide...

It is late 1942, and England is under constant attack from the Luftwaffe. Bored with his desk job, Flight Lieutenant Harry ‘Flash’ Rose is persuaded by his dear friend Daniel ‘Granny’ Smith to re-join Excalibur Squadron, now flying Hawker Typhoons in the defence of the south coast of England. His success rate is extraordinary, but there is much more to Rose’s story than combat. Separated from his wife and child, Rose throws all of his energies into airborne battles with the enemy, content to focus on the job until his family is reunited. That is, until he meets another just as weary and alone… At last, as the Luftwaffe turn their focus to the east, it seems that Rose may have some respite. But will he live to make it home? Perfect for fans of Pierre Clostermann.
