Notă biografică

Bill Malins was born in 1915, the fourth child and first son of an Oxfordshire farming family. As a small boy he would help with the haymaking, steer a horse-drawn harrow, milk a cow and ride sheep for entertainment. He would cycle each day to the local RAF base to deliver milk, often stopping to gaze at the aircraft overhead. He never dreamed that he would eventually be flying one of them himself, but by the time the Second World War began he was serving with the RAF as a reconnaissance pilot. He went on to see action in France, Germany and Holland, risking his life for his country and earning a Distinguished Flying Cross before giving up the airborne life to return to the farm.
