A Story About Amy Johnson.
It's 1930, Geoffrey de Havilland has recently designed his new light aeroplane, the Moth, and flying is all the rage. Twelve-year-old Tom Charlton dreams about planes but never imagines he'll meet a real pilot. Then one day his mother comes home with some exciting news. Lord Wakefield, the wealthy oil tycoon she works for, is going to sponsor Amy Johnson's solo flight to Australia. And, what's more, he's invited Tom to watch her practise flying at the local airfield . . .
