When Thomas the Tank Engine sees a vintage plane flying over he is fascinated and follows it all the way to the airfield. There he meets many wonderful planes and learns all about the part they played in the war. Thomas wishes he could be a hero too. Then when one of the planes crash lands in a pond it's time for Thomas to come to the rescue. Perhaps he can be a hero after all. Thomas has been teaching children lessons about life and friendship for 75 years. He ranks alongside other beloved characters such as Paddington Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.
