One of The Few and a true hero of Britain and the Free World. Amazing how the fatigue and strain have aged this 22-year-old Squadron Leader's face. Very humbling to think of his achievements and responsibilities at such a young age, and what a contrast to the rioting young thugs of late!

I have his book "Spitfire!" on order and very much look forward to reading it.

thanks for the post
great info ;-)
i didn't know that there's a book about him ;-)

Nice...

You couldn't lend me the airfare, could you? I'll pay you back when I win the lottery... ;)

Amazing, that the powers-that-be are finally recognizing these men and women who paid the highest price...

I don't mean those doing the honouring, I mean the bureaucratic, paper-pushers who sign off on the permission slip... There are thousands of these stories that need to be heard...

That's for highlighting the event... Have a marvelous day, on the day!

Cheers!
