John Gillespie Magee, Jr. was still a teenager when he wrote the poem “High Flight”. A pilot officer with the RCAF, Magee composed the poem during a practice flight over the English countryside and forwarded this “ditty” to his family in a letter. High Flight: A Story of World War II not only details John Magee’s childhood in Shanghai and Britain, but also the events leading up to the declaration of war, the conditions for those who survived the bombing raids and endured rationing, as well as the influence his poem has had in the many decades since his death.
