The First Flight Five have grown up together on Spitfire Street, in the very same houses where Spitfire factory workers once lived during WWII. But when their homes are threatened with demolition, they stumble upon an adventure that changes everything.
Hidden in the walls, they discover the journal of a young factory worker who died in the 1940 bombings. Inside are cryptic clues to Spitfire Secrets scattered across Eastleigh. Could this be the key to saving their homes? Could the crew uncover a piece of history that a boy their age died protecting?
Join the First Flight Five as they decode wartime riddles, solve secret puzzles and outwit anyone who gets in their way. It's a race against time, a treasure hunt through history and one last epic adventure before everything changes forever.
