Description: Johnny Checkett was one of New Zealand's
six fighter 'aces' of World War II. He shot down 14 enemy aircraft, plus three
more 'probables', in more than 400 operations over enemy territory. Shot down
twice, he overcame injuries and burns to escape from occupied France with the
help of the 'underground'. Fighter Pilot is the story of his
wartime experiences, told in simple and direct language that will engage even
reluctant readers. An accompanying teacher resource contains many photocopiable
task sheets and an audio CD of the Johnny Checkett story.
