Second World War Stories for Boys, by J. Eldridge

This book has 3 short stories in it.  The main character is John Smith, a 19 year old British soldier.  Even though the name of the main character is the same in each story, John Smith is a different person each time.
The first story is about John Smith, a pilot in Fighter Squadron, in the RAF.  It tells of his airbattle in France, against the Germans.
In the second story, John Smith is a driver in the Tank Regiment in the deserts of Egypt.  He is captured and put into a prison camp, but escapes.
The third story is set in the jungle of Burma.  John Smith is a lieutenant in the army, on a mission to blow up a bridge.  The enemy is the Japanese Army.
I think that this is a really great book.  It is full of exciting adventures and interesting, detailed information, all about the war.
This is a good book for 10 year olds (good readers) and over, who love to read about history and adventure.  I think girls would like this too.
