As a young boy in World War II, Gilbert Delcon refused to seek shelter when the air raid sirens went off over his village in Belgium. Enthralled by the sleek lines of the Spitfires, he ran outside to watch the planes pass overhead. Ten years later, he sought to fulfil his dream of one day flying a ‘Spit’. But how reliable were these machines, which the Belgian airforce had purchased from the RAF?

Well done, Gilbert.
This was an enjoyable read—tender without being maudlin. I liked the author's spare writing style, and after reading his disclaimer, I appreciated what he was trying to do with this story. Perhaps because the story hews closely to real life, it didn't have the sort of tension and climax I prefer in my reading. However, the author emphasizes that it is a work of fiction, so he might have considered massaging the intriguing bits about why so many Spitfire pilots died in succession to give it more of a "plot."
