"England is my Village" by John Llewellyn Rhys (1911-1940)

John Llewellyn Rhys was a British pilot who wrote a story about the Battle of Britain, and who then was killed in that battle himself. This has given him a slightly romantic legacy. But the story itself is action-packed and quite entertaining. And perfect for any student wanting to familiarize themselves with this historical moment in WWII history.

The text was published in an Australian newspaper in 1940.
