The "battle at ten miles eight" refers to a fighter plane dogfight that occurs over the island at the beginning of chapter six. Earlier quotes from the book that there is a major war going on in the "adult" world. The "beast from air" is implied to be a pilot whose plane was shot down. He parachutes down to the island and lands on the mountain, just after the boys wish for a sign from the adult world.
