A free read! At Kwickee on the web




Have you ever wondered what it would be like if enemy planes flew into your sky? What if your country was at war? What if there were all kinds of fear that you had? How would you cope? Read the first part of a story that I wrote about the first day of the Battle of Britian in August 1940.
