In May of 1940 -- the early days of World War II -- half a million
British and French soldiers were trapped in France. Weak and wounded,
they needed aid. Help came in the form of countless small craft, steered
by brave young men, in the legendary armada of "little ships" that
sailed aross the English Channel. Many people wanted to be a part of the
rescue mission. Here is the story of a girl who was so determined to
help that she disguised herself as a boy to blend in with the men as
they sailed toward Dunkirk.
