Few people become a legend in their own lifetime, Douglas
Bader was one such person. An exceptional pilot and leader, at
the age of 21, as a young RAF officer, he had both legs amputated
after he crashed his aircraft. Through sheer guts and determination
he learnt not only to walk again, but also fly, subsequently
becoming the RAF’s most famous WW2 fighter pilot.
Flying his Spitfire with the unmistakable DB markings, Wing Commander
Bader with his wingman close by, heads home to Tangmere after
another successful, action-packed day, taking on swarms of enemy
aircraft intent on wreaking havoc over the south of England. |
