​Soldier, Sailor & Airman Too

Description

This story provides a unique slice of British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Airforce history, spanning both World Wars and finishing in New Zealand. Not only can his story be read as a biography of an extremely accomplished and heroic figure, this book also provides an extensive historical insight into the myriad events he was involved in over this period of time. From beginnings that would be enough to deter most – being severely wounded to the point of paralysis as a sniper at Beaumont Hamel 1916 and subsequently evacuated back to England; Soldier, Sailor and Airman Too covers Woody’s military career through both wars, touches on his flying with Douglas Bader.
