Tom and Iris watch the enemy aircraft coming down towards the trees and make up their minds to go hunting for souvenirs. But they find more than they had bargained for: the injured pilot. And then the air-raid warnings sound and they all have to take shelter. While the two English children and the teenage German pilot are confined together, with the bombs falling around them, Tom and Iris listen to Martin's story...Themes: moral issues around
war; propagandaTeaching points: rich language and description make it ideal for sentence level work; has great appeal for both girls and boys and would link to war poetry
