his spitfire…

354 his Spitfire ... He had dreamed of it— thought of it— read of it— neglected his lessons for it— Watched it through the classroom window. and now He'd got it ... His own Spitfire! He had worked hard— even studied ... listened with his eyes popping, asked questions, travelled to Canada—to America and back home just to climb into that cockpit ... and now it was his. He had charged through clouds with it— in and out of the sun— he had climbed and looped in it— and done the victory roll ... more than once.
