Description

Who has not seen the film Reach for the Sky and not been enthralled by the story of Douglas Bader? A man who who lived to fly and was then involved in a crash that resulted in his legs being amputated. When England faced the might of the German was machine Douglas Bader did everything possible to get back into an airplane and help defeat the foe. Lucky for Britain, Douglas was soon to be joined by many other young, brave boys - some abandoning their education to get involved in defending their country and defeating the foe. Some of those brave boys went on to become flying "aces" - the tag applied to a pilot who have at least 5 confirmed "victories". Others, like Bader’s long time wingman, may not have gained that distinction, but none the less did a stirling job. Indeed, when Bader was shot down, it was the first time he had flown without Alan Smith (Later Sir Alan Smith DFC and Bar) as his trusted wingman. How might history have been changed had Smith flown that day rather than being bedridden with the Flu!
