21st October 1940 - A day that forever changed a little boy's life. This was the night during the Blitz of London when the bomb dropped. It landed on the very spot where the boy on the cover is standing just two years later.
This book chronicles the first 18 years of his life, recounted through collected memories, conversations with family and extensive research that are detailed in these pages.
From the injuries received on that night, through a turbulent childhood amidst the greatest war the world had ever seen, to the coming of age and serving as part of the Royal Air Force for his country. An emotional tale filled with insight to what life was like for a child in such times and a truly humbling sense of what tests that life can dispense.
