Is it treason to flee your country? By generally accepted moral standards, of course, yes. Well, if you are a stranger from another world, what should you do? The main character of Vladislav Kolmakov’s book “A Chance for a Fighter: The Battle of Britain” did not think about this issue for long, because, unlike many, he prefers to act. Alexander Sailors was simply forced to flee from the USSR. This was the only way he could save his beloved woman from arrest. Together they went behind the Iron Curtain. An involuntary exile, a victim, a Soviet ace pilot is now trying to find refuge in England. However, for everything in our life we have to pay. This is the basic law of capitalist countries. Matrosov will also have to pay an entrance ticket to the Western world. In the UK, the profession of a fighter pilot is now in great demand. The country is preparing for the Second World War, which has not yet affected it and the USSR. At the same time, military operations are taking place in Poland, Holland, Belgium, Norway and France. Soon it will be Britain's turn. In just a few days the great “Battle of Britain” will begin, which the Germans seriously intend to win. Alexander Matrosov will have to take part in it. No problem! Yes, this is good, because you can beat the Nazis on a British fighter, since life turned out that way! And our hero understands this too.
