Willoughby, Sam

Posted on 14 December, 2013 by in

Sam tells about his training in the very tough times of 1940 having arrived in England in 1939 when England’s back was really up against a wall.  He made missions over Plostie Romania as well as Germany and France.  He had only two week of flying lessons with a  training pilot then he was on his own with no co-pilot to help with the piloting.  He was shot down in 1942.  He flew a very primitive bomber but again he was in England at a very dark time in her history.
