Well done Jono. I liked the text you used for this and the colour of your backgrounds is all the same and the right colour. I think you can improve on by having a home button and were is the explanation on the characters.

well done Jono. Sam f

friday july 8 2011 this is a story that i have done it is about ww2 battle of britin 1941

SCRAMBLE GO GO GO!! I raced out to my spitfire, half running half jogging. I could die today or tomorrow. As i jumped on to the wing I saw the bombers and the most dreaded german fighter of its time, the BF 109. As I raced off I could see smoke and dirt high in the air. “danm Hitler”, I said to myself. I started opening the cockpit and jumped in, turned the motor on and waited for go. Waiting felt like a long time but soon I was in place and took off. The radio turned on and the commander said to target the bombers, but when under fire from other aircraft, ‘go for it’. So it ended up with planes flying everywhere. As I was shooting the cannons a plane right in front of me stalled high in the air and, falling down at high speed, it hit the ground in flames. Roaring above was a ‘Henkile He 111’ bomber dropping its mother lode of 100cc pound bombs blowing up every thing in its path. Suddenly the radio boomed into life again, “Watch out! German Fighter on your tail! I looked behind, danm, I did what I had learned in pilot school, I dive down then turn around and shoot. I did and with ease, I shot down the german pilot. Now it was time get those bombers ratatatatat!!! The machine guns were going full speed and now the bomber was giving away smoke and 20 seconds later it was destroyed, yes! Now the bombers were going home. Despite all their loses they had 23 bombers that got shot down and 15 survived but 20 out of 25 fighter planes of the attack only 5 survived. It was costly going, but we know that they will be back. When I woke up the next day we were going to the counter check thats when you go to tell how many planes you have shot down when it was my turn i said 2 one bomber and one fighter it was 2 points for me when i have 20 points i will be a ace nice i thought only 18 to go it was 9:30 morning when we got a call from spotters command in the london coast line saying heavy bomber strike and low fighter strike like normal the siren went on and the guy in that office thing said scramble go boys go i was like 12 meters away from my air craft i was jogging “smart thinking to get down on the air field first and stopping my plane right next to the place we boys sat down in chairs and smoking cigars/cigarets while talking heaps about Dunkirk and the german air force the luffwaffe” i herd them boys coming out from the canteen saying those bombers are caring 200cc bombs damn! That’s more power that Hitler’s getting, more explosives into the bombs. I hopped onto the wing and opened the cockpit, slid in, shut the canopy and started her up. I waited for placing then took off. The roaring of the Rolls-Royce engine shook the ground. As I took off I looked at my map, London 8000 meters away. I can see the shape of Big Ben and bombers, but no fighter planes. Good good, “but” I thought that some guys said that there was going to be low fighter escort, but, oh well that would be better. So, lets get going. Now I was 2000 meters from London two more minuets and I’ll be in the London sky line, ratatatatat!!! Ping, pang, ping, pang, the bomber I was shooting at did not stand a chance, but, one machine gunner on the bomber saw me and stared to shoot at the cockpit and engine. bugger I thought, “he’ll kill me but not if i kill him first”. So I shot him with the cannons and blasted him away and the plane whoa!! double luck yes!! now to carry on i was shooting a bombers tail when 2 enemy planes came up be hide me what the..... bam! bam! bam! i was shot damn oh no! i was going down oil and smoke filled the space all around me i was choking then i blacked out i woke up i was still in cockpit and water was filling fast i quickly got my pistol and shot at the canopy lid bang bang i punched the glass till it made a hole big enough for me to swim through i swam hard and when i got to the top i gulped in water and air i looked up and saw planes flying in every direction including a bomber crashing into the sea splash !! as i turned around i saw a boat no not a big boat but a small fishing ship there were at lest 5 men standing on the deck off the boat they were saying something like swim here or its all right i felt dizzy and sick but i swam across to the boat they pulled me up on to the deck and said those bloody germans yea i said they started to tell me how good are those german pilots i replied yeah their good i shut my eyes and went to sleep.the next day when i woke up did we all get shot down the nurse looked at me strangely what do you mean i said it again did flight squoden 35 all get shot down i’m sorry i don’t know oh ok i said with a croaky voice were am i she said you are in the hospital some fishermen came here with you and said that you got shot down by two german planes they watched the hole thing but i’m sorry about your legs ‘ “whats wrong with my legs i said oh she said when you got shot by that german plane some shrapnel went through one of your legs and through the other but i said i did not feel any thing thats the thing though because when its in that much pain your nerves stop sending signs that your in pain then she said good bye i’m sorry that i have to leave because i have got to go to the soldiers ward good bye well i thought god bless england. the end
