Synopsis:
After having several dreams about German terror rockets, Johnny is granted a week's leave. During his leave, Johnny meets an RAF pilot named Allan. Allan's leads his squad into combat while Johnny stays behind. Allan returns, but dies shortly after landing his plan. Johnny takes off again in Allan's spitfire when another attack begins. Just like in Johnny's dream, he sees a terror rocket. The spitfire is out of ammo, so Johnny uses his wings to detonate the rocket before it can strike its target.
