Henry Forester is a nineteen year old pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II. He is the co-pilot of a bomber plane named Out of the Blue. He comes from a farming family and his father was really tough on him, always criticizing him and making him feel bad. He lives on an air force base with other pilots. They fly on lots of missions together. One day they are assigned a really important, secret mission. The Americans are also part of the mission. They end up in a huge air battle with the German Luftwaffe. Their plane is hit and they are forced to bail out when the engines die. Henry and some of his crew parachute out. His parachute is shot at and he lands hard. When I left off, Henry had just landed somewhere in Europe. He thinks he may have landed in the Swiss Alps because of the deep snow. So far, this book is interesting and provides a lot descriptions of the different types of fighter planes and bombers flown by the different armies. I am interested in reading the rest of this book since it has been very good so far.
Wow this seems like it could be a really good book. Does the main character still have criticism put upon him once he joins the air force? Also when he lands in Europe does he have any of his fellow pilots land with him or is he completely alone? When you said that he landed hard is he injured in any sort of way? I think that this seems like a book i would read.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really good and I'm very interesting in reading it. I would love to know more about it because it has the kind of plot that I tend to like a lot. I want to know what happens in the rest of the book too; as you said in your blog post. I might check it out and see if I like it. Because you like it so much and I think that we have similar interests and you should take a look at the CHERUB series.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a cool book, and exciting. It sounds like it has a good story too, and a lot of cool history. The survival story part sounds really exciting. I might read this after I finish the book I am reading now.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really intense and intersting. Maybe give me some more feedback besides the sum. I think I might buy it.
