Fly for your life
Larry Forrester
Fly For Your Life is the true story of Royal Air Force (RAF) Ace Robert Stanford Tuck. Thrust into a leadership role amidst the chaos of the Dunkirk evacuation, Tuck would distinguish himself as one of the RAF’s elite officers becoming the first Spitfire Ace.
Further challenging times for Tuck would lie ahead in the coming months when Britain was in terrible danger. Nazi Germany was planning an invasion and the fighter pilots of the RAF would be at the forefront of Britain’s defense. In what would become known as the Battle of Britain; Tuck would show relentless commitment, extraordinary skill, and steely nerve when faced against the better equipped, larger German Luftwaffe. He would be shot down, crash land, and plucked out of the sea. Each time, returning to the fray to fly again.
Tuck would go on to become one of the leading aces in the RAF, credited with 29 confirmed kills and decorated with the Distinguished Service Order. Earning his place in history with the immortal company of World War I aces Ball, Bishop, Mannock, and Collishaw.
