Fighter Escort
Responsibility - As the 14th Squadron of the Royal Air Force is tasked with the responsibility
of escorting a formation of American bombers, Harry falls into a dilemma
of his own - literally. He realizes that just like the squadron, he must be
responsible no matter what the consequences - for that is the mark of
a true pilot.

Spitfire!
Wisdom - When Hampton Airfield is attacked while the pilots are out on a
mission, only Harry knows something that can save the base - and
the new Spitfire planes - from destruction. Unfortunately he has been
ordered to stay off the base. Orders are meant to be followed, but
sometimes it is wise to disobey when there is a good reason.
