Biggles books encouraged me to take to the skies and they weren’t exactly historically accurate or politically correct!
With me it was “Commando”,”Air War” and “Battle” comics with a bit of “Battler Britton” thrown in.That plus the Saturday afternoon matinees of BoB,Moaquito Squadron,Bridge over the river Kwai,A bridge too Far and the Dambusters.And an understanding auntie who bought me models to start.All a kid could ever want. 🙂
