Event Narrative

When he joined the air force in May 1915, he literally answered my question as to why he had decided to do so: 'I don't want to be just an observer, I want to be an aeroplane pilot and, if I succeed, the best of them all! And his blue eyes shone, bearing witness to the firmness of his resolve.
