This a story of a boy born in the 1930s when poverty was the ordinary way of life. The boy was the first-born child of a young couple living in the dock area of Poplar.

Among the first children evacuated from London when war was declared, the child’s education suffered once in a country school. The usual path for boys during the war was to leave school and work on a farm, but this boy had a burning desire to join the RAF. He worked hard at school and paid close attention to the progress of the war. Shortly after the war ended he passed necessary exams and set off for a new life in the RAF.

This is that boy’s story
