An R.A.F. pilot with the signature hipster haircut
This is Albert Gerald Lewis, a South African volunteer and the best British flying ace. Apparently he was shot down, burned head to toe, returned to the Brits because of his injuries, and went right back to blowing German Luftwaffe out of the sky. BAMF? I would say so.
Read this Life Magazine article about the pilots who saved England. No wonder these dudes got all the ladies!
England’s most important young men are the several thousands who fly the Hurricane and Spitfire fighters in the Battle of Britain…
A great page detailing Lewis’ squadron.
Wow! One of my favorite posts from almost a year ago. Time flies!
