A Hurricane's Tale

A Hurricane's Tale

Max Bancroft-Gracey was traumatized when his father, an ex-First World War fighter pilot, was critically injured in a car crash. <br />The life that Max and his father had enjoyed looked as if it would change forever, his father’s Tiger Moth aeroplane now sat in their barn like a lame duck. <br />But Mr Cartwright, the head gardener, convinced his Master would fly again, regularly mowed the grass runway which lay in front of the manor house. <br />Would Max’s Pa ever fly again? Max worked on a plan, encouraged by Mr Cartwright, that would get the First World War veteran into the air again. <br />But everything changes when a Hurricane fighter plane makes an emergency landing at the manor. The young fighter pilot, Tommy Drayton, allows Max and his sister to sit in the cockpit. Then war is declared: Max is determined to become a fighter pilot and events take a different turn… <br /> <br />From the best selling author of "The Ghosts of KG40" <br /> <br />Praise for Les Lunt : <br /> <br />"A book that held my attention to the last page.
