These four pals love zooming through the sky. But when trouble blows in, are they as good at brainstorming as they are at barnstorming? Tom the F-14 Tomcat has a need for speed. Convinced he's only valued for his ability to break the sound barrier, the mighty fighter jet is determined to win a race to Australia to keep his airshow alive. But when a rival F-15 Eagle tricks him into skipping refuelling, the supersonic plane fears he's let everyone down as his tanks run empty. Can Tom get help from his talented friends and finish the contest before it's too late? Take off with a fabulous foursome of flying machines from different eras in this collection of three rousing adventures above the clouds. Get up close and intimate with Tom the speedy F-14 Tomcat, Vul the valiant Vulcan, World War II saviour the Spitfire, and a determined little wooden biplane. Meet their friends... and their adversaries as these winged best friends soar into the wild blue yonder. Will Woody succeed in transporting a tiny passenger without losing face? But wait, what's that terrible smell? Can Vul rescue a six-engined giant who desperately needs help to get home? The answers and more are inside!

Notă biografică

Leona was immersed in the world of aviation from an early age; her grandfather, Sir Alan Cobham, made many first-time flights as well as pioneering the invention of in-flight refuelling. Leona inherited this love of flying and travel. Now she draws her young readers into a world of aeroplanes through tales told by the aeroplanes themselves about their adventures, thoughts and feelings. Believing happy children learn best, Leona infuses her writing with humour, adventure, and a big feel-good factor. Self-development is a key theme. Her aeroplanes overcome personal as well as technical challenges to succeed in missions close to Leona's heart, like helping endangered species, putting out forest fires and building friendships. Leona began research and writing in 1994 for a PhD on forest-based agriculture in Cameroon. She is a born researcher and her website, like her books, is an archive of fascinating facts about flying. She lives in a house in Surrey, UK, with her two sons and two dogs; a scary number of bees live in hives in her garden.
