Introduction
The Dawn Patrol is a project created to honor the RAF pilots and people who supported them, who fought in the Battle of Britain in 1940. This summer marks the 70th anniversary of this epic struggle, in which England was the last free nation in Europe to stand up to Hitler. In a very real sense, if England had fallen, World War Two may have gone quite differently, especially if the Allied forces didn’t have England as a forward base to invade and re-take Europe.
This eBook contains preliminary sketches that will form the basis of a comic book or graphic novel, and it is hoped that eventually this will lead to a full length movie. If you like this eBook, please visit http://www.thedawnpatrol.net and register to receive updates about future editions, including a full-length comic book/graphic novel. These storyboards draw upon the lyrics of a song Dawn Patrol, as well as a poem Death from Above, both by Todd Kelsey – both are included at: http://www.thedawnpatrol.net

About the author: Todd Kelsey, PhD (ABD) is an author and educator with an interest in sustainability. During his PhD study, he did some volunteer work for One Laptop Per Child, and also started growing sunflowers. One thing led to another, and the idea of inviting kids of all ages to grow sunflowers turned into the Sunflower Club, which has grown from year to year, as member pass their seeds along and trace the ancestry back on a sunflower family tree. Then he started wondering about how to take a balanced approach to social responsibility, thought about color coding, and the RGB Project was created. Todd has appeared on television as a featured expert and has worked with a wide variety of corporations and nonprofit organizations. He is author of the new book Social Networking Spaces, which introduces readers to social networking. Todd’s research has included work in social media; delivering content in different languages; sustainability; and helping people to capture, preserve, and share their life stories.
