This fictional story tells how seventeen-year-old Jack Waters who lives in a small Canadian prairie town in 1943, comes to fly a plane and save a life. Too young to be a pilot, he nevertheless learns how to fly when Basil, who is a flying instructor at a nearby British air training base, takes him into the air. The secret lessons and Jack’s courage are tested when Basil is injured and his best hope for survival is for Jack to fly his plane to the infirmary.
