Hey. This is only my second story so don't be afraid to criticize. This story will be set during World War II but only a few real life events like Pearl Harbour will actually happen in the story. However, all the vehicles and weapons listed in the story are real. I hope you enjoy!

The war had begun: Nazi Germany run by Adolf Hitler, had invaded nearby Poland. Britain readied war planes and naval vessels, preparing for battle. On September 5th, 1939, air raid sirens blared as German Do17 E-1 light bombers flew overhead British cities.
Duncan raced down the runway towards his British Hawker Hurricane fighter. He climbed in and closed the cockpit. After watching several other Hurricanes take off into the sky, Duncan ignited the engine. The control tower gave him permission to take off and so he did. Joining the squadron he was assigned to, the four Hurricanes including Duncan's, flew towards the German aircraft.
The Do17s got closer and his heart began to race. Out of his five year service career, in the Royal Air Force, this was the first combat mission he was sent into. By now, the Do17s were only hundreds of meters away and Duncan could hear the roar of the engines. He readied his Hurricane and awaited the battle to start. His heart was practically jumping out his chest and he could feel a lump in his throat. The Do17s drew closer and closer before bullet whizzed past his cockpit window.
He pulled hard to the right, tracing a Do17 that strayed away from the group. He readied his aim and pushed the button labelled "Fire". The sound of machine gunfire filled his ears as bullets flew out of the barrels of the MGs attached to the Hurricane's wing. Several bullets missed but many more hit the target. Soon, black smoke trailed behind the lone Do17.
He continued to shoot towards the German bomber until fire erupted from both engines, sending it into the dirt, ending with an explosion. He exhaled in relief. He felt a rush of adrenaline from the chase. He manoeuvred back towards the fight he had broke away from. By now, German Messerschmitt Bf. 109 fighters had arrived to escort the Do17s. Duncan looked to his right to see another Hurricane. In the distance, a Bf. 109 open fired of the Hurricane Duncan was looking at soon, the engine lit on fire, resulting in a crash and explosion similar to his own kill of the Do17.
Wanting to avenge the death of a fellow British pilot, he increased the throttle. As the Bf. 109 began to engage another Hurricane, Duncan intercepted. He began firing upon the Bf. 109 as he had did to the Do17. As the same result as before, Bf. 109 crashed and exploded. Duncan hurried back to the fight. Bullets flew past his cockpit and as he looked back, he could see a Bf. 109 behind him, guns blazing.
He pulled the nose of the Hurricane upwards in an attempt to shake the German plane. The Bf. 109 stayed on his tail but soon the German plane began to lose speed until it began to fall back down towards the ground. Duncan's plane began to do the same except at a much higher altitude. Eventually, both planes were flying nose down and now Duncan was on the German's tail. He opened fired and once again, another crash and another small victory for Duncan.
Soon, all the Do17s were destroyed but the Bf.109s were still an issue. Only two remained compared to six Hurricanes. Duncan could clearly see that the Germans underestimated the strength of the Royal Air Force. After about ten minutes of dog fighting, the last of the German fighters were terminated. Duncan and the only other remaining Hurricane in his squadron, returned to the airfield. They both landed along with the other three Hurricanes. He piloted the Hurricane into a hangar before killing the engine and climbing out.
After the battle Duncan had participated in, he had been awarded with a bronze medal for his bravery and fierce courage. Duncan knew that this war was only the beginning and whether he would die or not, he'd fight for his country... Britain.
I hope you guys enjoyed this. I know that this was a short chapter but future chapters will be longer. Don't hesitate to criticize so that I can learn from mistakes. Thanks!
