"A fascinating World War II evade and escape story." - Reviewer

Hunted by the Gestapo, John Archer faces his toughest mission yet.

As the newest pilot for the RAF in the heat of the Second World War, John Archer is determined to serve the Allies and defend London from the Luftwaffe. But as a young pilot with little experience, a face-off with a German fighter Ace could cost him his life.

When he's selected for a top-secret spy mission, Archer finds himself airdropped deep into Nazi-occupied Belgium on a death-defying quest to recover vital intelligence. Archer and his best friend and wingman Barney know that the Allied war effort could hinge on their success. But the Nazis have a plan-one which could change the entire course of the war.

With the Battle of Britain raging in the skies above London and the infamous Gestapo closing in, Archer's only hope lies in flying out of Belgium-if he can escape the Luftwaffe, that is.

As a thrilling WWII adventure set during the Allies' struggle against German forces, this novel combines classic action and adventure with a riveting and historical World War II setting. Perfect for history buffs and fans of war fiction, Bombs Over Britain is an action-packed adventure ideal for teens and young adult readers.
