October 1939

October 1939... with their Spitfires in France near the German border... For most of the young Hornet Squadron pilots, their France posting is the first time they have left the shores of England. They spend the initial lazy days of 'the phoney war' in an idyllic French chateau, pampered by their charismatic Squadron Leader. All the while the young pilots strain for real action and dream of romance.
