Air Strike by Richard Townsend Bickers
Africa, The Second World War.
A Spitfire ground-attack squadron is fighting its way from North Africa across Sicily and up the length of Italy.
In Sicily one of its pilots is shot down, to his unquenchable indignation, by an American anti-aircraft battery.
His formidable Squadron Commander pays a dramatic call on the American Commanding Officer.
