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.

Harry desperately wants to join the RAF to take an injured pilot's place, but his mother repeatedly denies him permission to join. He is ready to give up until he sees the familiar new recruit assigned to Hampton. A startling discovery leads to a lesson in patience and enjoying childhood - Harry will grow up soon enough.

A bad dream causes young Harry to spend the night tossing and turning in his bed. Unfortunately, the next day becomes the real nightmare - his friends are in trouble! Harry wants to help, but what can a young boy do? He learns what it really means to make sacrifices and help others.

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.

In his mission to be accepted into their group, Harry learns the true meaning of friendship.
