These are the stories of young Harry Winslow and his friendships with the pilots of the Royal Air Force in World War II England. Written for boys but appealing to all, the tales are based on history and depict values such as courage, heroism, and responsibility.
Tales of the RAF: Spitfire!
When Hampton Airfield is attacked while the pilots are out on a mission, only Harry knows something that can save the base - and the new Spitfire planes - from destruction. Unfortunately he has been ordered to stay off the base. Orders are meant to be followed, but sometimes it is wise to disobey when there is a good reason.

Don Patterson - father of 2 children, found it difficult to find something his elementary aged son was interested in reading. On a visit to a local Air Museum, he found his son had a great interest in World War II aircraft. So the basis for the stories in the "Tales of the RAF" series was started. What was started as a way of interesting his son in reading, is now a labor of love in getting more young people to read - even the reluctant ones.
"A great aviation adventure story that should appeal to many of the boys and girls of today. It is particularly interesting and important that it was written with the background of a very prominent phase in history..." -- Squadron Leader M.A. (Mak) Kinsey - Royal Air Force, Retired
"Fun to read! Great for all ages! Spitfire's got airplanes,history and people. There's lots of action, suspense, teamwork and a lesson in tough decision making. It's a new book..we think it'll be a classic!" -- Mr. John Clay's Third Grade Class 1999-2000
"Spitfire is action packed. This is a story of love and devotion between the commander, those he commands, and twelve year old Harry Winslow. Enjoyable reading for all, especially this retired military person!" -- Lt. Col Dick Becker - USAF, Retired
