On October 16, 1939 No. 603 Squadron RAF engaged the first German air raid of WWII on the British Isles. Successfully shooting down a Junkers Ju-88 bomber, they marked the first RAF victory of the war. The same “derring-do” would be on display throughout the career of Israel’s number one test pilot Danny Shapira, as told in Born to Fly.
