So here is my Grandfather's RAF Pilot's Flying Log Book. This is the first of three and has details of all the flights he took in the first part of his RAF career, starting in Aug.1940 and ending in Feb.1944.
He had volunteered to fight for a cause he saw as just, namely the end of Fascism, and he was excited to be part of the fight. However, learning how to fly was not going to be easy and he would have to learn a lot of other information on engines, airframes, bombing, gunnery, armament, signals, navigation, airmanship and much more besides. And learn it quickly! But just for the moment his life was all mapped out and the exciting days were ahead.
