Taking to the Skies is the tenth volume in the Misfit Squadron series, but is the first that can be read as a standalone novel. It is also suitable for younger audiences.

Many young men and women join the Royal Aviator Corps dreaming of one day being fighter pilots and Britain needs as many of them in the cockpits of Spitsteams and Harridans as it can get. It takes hard work, dedication and not a little talent to become a fighter pilot, though, and many don’t make the grade.

The intake of recruits from the Midlands in June 1941 is disappointingly small, with only 8 cadets joining up and only 6 of them wanting to be pilots. Will any of them prove that they have what it takes to form part of the front line of defence of Britain against the imminent Prussian invasion?
