Callum has never had an opportunity to fly in an aeroplane or anything else for that matter, but he has an insatiable interest in anything to do with aeronautics.

He spends a rainy day in the loft and his interest gets peeked by being able to see into the next-door loft where an old man has left a interesting-looking box. This is the start of his adventure and soon he finds a friend to join him in his quest for the power of flight.

There are many hair-raising challenges along the way and being chased for the knowledge they gain is all part of the world they find themselves in.

Set in the Wiltshire countryside of the 1950s, this tale of two young innocent boys gives lots of fun and some sadness, all coped with as only young boys can do.
