A Spitfire tears over an English village, skimming over the treetops. Below, an old woman drops her basket in shock. Flight Lieutenant "Geoff" Wellum shouts, "Sorry if I frightened you, my love!", grinning widely. Nineteen years old. Barely six hours of solo time. And here he is, gripping the controls of a Supermarine Spitfire Mk I. With a top speed of 370 miles per hour, it feels like flying a wild animal. Geoff grins widely. Then the radio crackles. German aircraft in the vicinity.

Intercept immediately. He slams the throttle. His 1,000 horsepower Merlin Engine screams. Geoff has no idea how green he is. A Messerschmitt Bf 109 gets the drop on him and plunges from the clouds behind him, cannon blazing. Shells rip past his canopy. Geoff yanks the stick all the way to the right. The Spitfire shudders into a savage turn. Over six Gs of force crush him. The engine overheats. Oil pressure is dropping. Vision tunneling. It’s an impossible turn, but if any aircraft can handle it, it is the Spitfire. Incredibly, the 109 sticks to him like a shadow. The ground is rushing up at them as they spiral downward, each trying to outturn the other. First one to give in, black out, or break the turn will not see another day.
